At COP29, IFAD helps countries to achieve agricultural methane reduction

As global efforts to achieve a 30 per cent reduction in methane emissions by 2030 gain traction, IFAD has launched a crucial guidebook to help developing countries incorporate agricultural methane reduction strategies into their climate plans.

Methane matters. Here's how we can reduce it.

Agricultural activities are major emitters of methane. But smart changes in how we produce food can reduce emissions – and its impact – quickly.

Reducing Methane Emissions from Agrifood Systems

This publication highlights the urgent need to mitigate methane emissions from agrifood systems. It presents effective and scalable solutions for reducing emissions in various sectors.

A Practical Guide for Including Agricultural Methane Emission Reduction Targets in Nationally Determined Contributions

This practical guide provides step-by-step methodologies for integrating methane reduction strategies across livestock, rice and waste management.

Tackling methane emissions to fast-track climate goals

From Mongolia to Kyrgyzstan, find out how scall-scale farmers are reducing agriculture's methane footprint.

Five ways IFAD is making livestock more climate friendly

Countless rural people depend on livestock for livelihoods, nutrition and traditional ways of life. Supporting small-scale farmers to become even greener can strengthen food systems, preserve livelihoods and benefit our planet.

New IFAD initiative will help reduce global warming by lowering methane emissions from small-scale farming

With sharp reductions in methane emissions key to keeping global warming below 1.5 degrees Celsius, IFAD is launching a new initiative to help developing countries lower methane emissions from agricultural and small-scale farming. Announced today at the AIM for Climate Summit, the new program will receive US$3 million in support from the Global Methane Hub and US$ 1 million in support from the US State Department.

UN's IFAD and the U.S. State Department help small-scale farmers to further reduce methane emissions

IFAD and the U.S. State Department announced a new partnership to support small-scale farmers in developing countries to better adapt to climate change and further reduce highly polluting methane emissions.
