Climate change and human behaviour
Anthropogenic climate change is a scientific fact. Without immediate action, we are unlikely to meet the target goal of minimizing global warming to 1.5° C. This collection highlights the importance of human behaviour in climate action, mitigation and adaptation.

Accounting for methane
Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas. Sources of emissions include both human activity, such as natural gas leakage and rearing livestock, and natural environments, such as wetlands. This Collection explores the processes that influence methane emissions across a range of settings in the natural environment and how we can improve methane accounting associated with human activities to, ultimately, mitigate anthropogenic emissions.
