全球甲烷削减滞后,目标是到2030年仅减少8%,远低于30%的目标。 Global methane cuts are lagging, aiming for only an 8% drop by 2030, far below the 30% goal.

减少甲烷排放的全球努力没有达到2021年联合国甲烷承诺中设定的2030年目标,目前的预测显示,到2030年,与2020年水平相比,只有8%的排放量或固定排放量下降,远远低于30%的目标减排。 Global efforts to cut methane emissions are falling short of the 2030 goal set in the 2021 U.N. methane pledge, with current projections showing only an 8% decline or flat emissions by 2030 compared to 2020 levels—well below the targeted 30% reduction. 甲烷捕获的热量是十年来二氧化碳的近30倍,约占人类排放的72%,主要来自化石燃料活动。 Methane, which traps nearly 30 times more heat than carbon dioxide over a decade, accounts for about 72% of human-caused emissions, primarily from fossil fuel activities. 获取泄漏或燃烧的气体可以节省公司的资金,但回报往往低于新的勘探。 Capturing leaked or flared gas can save companies money, though returns are often lower than new exploration. 尽管雄心与行动之间存在差距,但联合国官员和专家说,势头正在增强,通过更有力、更快的努力仍有可能实现目标。 Despite the gap between ambition and action, U.N. officials and experts say momentum is building and meeting the target remains possible with stronger, faster efforts.
