This new #EEAbriefing shows clearly that reducing #methane emissions (responsible for almost half of observed 1.1°C increase in global avg temperatures) should be a priority in the fight against climate change.

Despite progress in other sectors, emissions from agriculture (mostly #livestock) are now increasing again, representing 6.3% of ALL GHG emissions in the EU ▶️ https://www.eea.europa.eu/publications/methane-emissions-in-the-eu/methane-emissions-in-the-eu.
