Region: India

There are several solutions to address India's methane emission problems. Some of the key solutions include:

Improving agricultural practices: Since agriculture is the largest contributor of methane emissions in India, it is important to implement sustainable agricultural practices that reduce emissions. This could include using techniques such as alternate wetting and drying (AWD) for rice cultivation, which can reduce methane emissions by up to 60%.

Promoting the use of renewable energy: One effective way to reduce methane emissions is to transition away from fossil fuels and towards renewable energy sources. This could include increasing the use of biogas plants for the treatment of organic waste and generating renewable energy, as well as increasing the use of solar and wind power.

Encouraging waste management: Municipal solid waste management is another significant source of methane emissions in India. Encouraging the proper management of waste, including separating and recycling materials, can help reduce methane emissions from landfills.

Improving monitoring and reporting: There is a need for better monitoring and reporting of methane emissions from different sources in India. This could involve the development of better measurement techniques and the implementation of regular reporting requirements.

Increasing public awareness: Increasing public awareness about the importance of reducing methane emissions and the impacts of climate change can help promote behavior change in sectors such as agriculture and waste management.
