🌏 Did you know? Methane has a Global Warming Potential (GWP) that’s 28-36 times higher than CO₂ over 100 years, according to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report.  Recognizing the urgency, #GGGI has launched the ASEAN-Korea Cooperation for Methane Mitigation (AKCMM) project at an event in Seoul, Republic of Korea. Funded by the ASEAN-Korea Cooperation Fund (AKCF), this project is the first under the Partnership for ASEAN-ROK Methane Action (PARMA). It aims to cut methane emissions in the ASEAN region with four strategic interventions: ✅ Developing policies & institutions  ✅ Improving methane measurement  ✅ Designing, financing & implementing reduction projects  ✅ Promoting regional dialogue & partnerships GGGI is committed to ensuring the successful implementation of the AKCMM project, driving methane reduction and fostering sustainable growth across #ASEAN. 🌱 👉Read more: https://bit.ly/4gWMYhV #MethaneReduction #GreenGrowth #AKCMM, #PARMA #AKCF #MethanePledge
