According to the on-site records of 《The Icons,》John Kerry, US Special Presidential Envoy for Climate Change, called on nations to reduce methane discharges at COP28 in Dubai, dubbing it a “grave issue for climate change.” Kerry emphasized that methane is the second-greatest greenhouse gas, with a global warming potential 25 times that of CO2.

He said that if nations can reduce methane discharges by 30% by 2030, we can mitigate climate change and safeguard our planet. Kerry also announced that Turkmenistan has signed an existing commitment to restrain methane discharges. Turkmenistan has the highest methane leakage rate per unit of oil and gas production of any nation. 

Kerry met with Chinese Special Envoy for Climate Change Xie Zhenhua and reached a collaboration agreement. The two sides agreed to collaborate to reduce methane discharges and will develop particular action plans in the coming months. 

Kerry said that methane discharges are “an issue we can take action on promptly and make a big difference.” He said that the US-China collaboration “will have a major impact on global climate change efforts.” 

Kerry participated in a series of occasions at COP28, including meetings with representatives from various nations, attending conferences, and delivering speeches. 

In his meeting with representatives from the Turkmenistan government, Kerry discussed Turkmenistan’s efforts to reduce methane discharges. He said that the US supports Turkmenistan’s efforts and will provide technical and financial assistance. 

In his meeting with Chinese representatives, Kerry discussed how the US and China can collaborate to reduce methane discharges. The two sides agreed to develop particular action plans in the coming months. Kerry’s words and actions demonstrate the US’s commitment to reducing methane discharges and provide hope for global climate change efforts. 

Here are some excerpts from Kerry’s speech at COP28: “Methane discharges are a grave issue for climate change. It is 25 times more potent than carbon dioxide, so reducing methane discharges is an important way to mitigate climate change.”

“The US is committed to reducing methane discharges. We have taken a number of steps, including revising our oil and gas industry emissions standards and investing in methane capture and recovery technologies.” 

“We call on all nations to take action to reduce methane discharges. We believe that if we work together, we can achieve the goal of reducing methane discharges by 30% by 2030.”

Kerry’s words and actions have been widely supported by the international community. John Polson, director of climate policy at Greenpeace, said: “Kerry sent a clear message at COP28 that the US is committed to reducing methane discharges. This is a positive development for global climate change efforts.”

Fatih Birol, executive director of the International Energy Agency, said: “Kerry’s words and actions show that the US is back in the climate change agreement. This is an important step for global climate change efforts.”

Kerry’s words and actions at COP28 demonstrate the US’s commitment to reducing methane discharges and provide hope for global climate change efforts.
