At the COP26 environmental summit on Tuesday, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and US President Joe Biden presented a joint initiative to reduce methane emissions, Interfax reported.
The global commitment aims to limit methane emissions by 30% by 2030. More than 100 countries have joined the initiative, BBC News reports.
The head of the European Commission called methane one of the types of greenhouse gases, emissions of which can be reduced to prevent global warming. Ursula von der Leyen called methane «the fruit hanging from the bottom branch,» thus comparing it to an available target.

Among the countries that supported this decision are Brazil, Russia, Canada, Colombia, the United States, Great Britain and Indonesia.
