The National Zero Methane Program: Brazil

Brazil's National Zero Methane Program is a government initiative designed to significantly reduce methane emissions across the country's various productive sectors. This program establishes strategies and concrete actions to mitigate emissions of this potent greenhouse gas in key areas such as agriculture, livestock, waste management, and the energy sector. It implements technical, financial, and regulatory measures to promote sustainable practices that reduce the methane footprint in the Brazilian economy. It encourages the adoption of clean technologies, better agricultural and livestock practices, and efficient waste management systems to achieve its objectives. It represents a fundamental component of Brazil's climate strategy to meet its international emission reduction commitments.
