The European Union aims to slash methane emissions by clinching a deal that could have global ramifications if major energy importers are targeted over leaks of one of the most potent greenhouse gases.
Negotiators from parliament and member states will enter what is likely to be the final round of talks Tuesday over the shape of rules cracking down on methane leaked into the atmosphere by the energy sector. The goal is to get a deal in place before the COP28 climate summit in Dubai later this month.
