Dubai, CMC: Prime Minister Mia Mottley called for more controls on methane on Saturday during an address at international climate talks (COP28) in Dubai.
“The reality is that the global methane agreement that the world needs to see has not yet come,” said Mottley, who called climate change “a death sentence for many.”
“While we are seeing countries move towards greater regulation, we need to be able to have concrete action concerning the controlling of methane, largely because its damage in the near term is far greater than even CO2,” she added.
Mottley continued by suggesting the responsibility should lie with oil and gas companies to be more active in cutting emissions.
“We need strong regulation and compliance to ensure that we can minimize the extent to which that continues to lead and hurt the world in the hotter temperatures.”
Mottley also gave thanks for the progress so far, including the loss and damage fund, but called for it to be properly funded.
