- Development of additional solutions where there are still economic-solution gaps.
- Effective implementation of national legislation and international agreements to reduce pollution (AMAP 2021).
- Full implementation of best available technologies for reducing methane emissions (AMAP 2021).
- Current commitments by the Arctic Council in the Arctic Council’s Framework for Action for Enhanced Black Carbon and Methane Emissions Reductions are insufficient. Strengthened targets for reducing methane emissions are needed, particularly via preventing methane leaks in the oil and gas industry (AMAP 2021).
- Funding and financing are needed to support fast methane reductions and associated governance (IGSD 2023).
- A global methane agreement is needed (IGSD 2023).
- Development of accountability and enforcement strategies that use methane monitoring systems (IGSD 2023); this could include establishment of National Methane Offices (IGSD 2023).
- Increased monitoring and verification capacity (Nisbet et al. 2021). While methane monitoring systems have greatly improved (IGSD 2023), further comprehensive monitoring is needed to hold companies and countries accountable.
- See Nisbet et al. 2021 for 6 measurement needs.
- Further development of what priorities look like in different places for different actors will be needed.
