Independent panel reports on methane science and targets

The Government will consider the findings of the panel’s biogenic methane science and targets review.

The five-member panel was made up of leading scientists and chaired by farmer and former climate change commissioner Nicola Shadbolt.

The panel was tasked with outlining the latest science on methane and what level of biogenic methane emissions reductions would be needed in 2050 to ensure no additional warming from methane emissions relative to 2017 levels.
