Opinion: It’s time for retailers to face up to methane
With over 80 times the warming power of carbon dioxide in the short term, methane is a fast-acting climate pollutant that poses a critical threat to our planet.

Despite this, many retailers have been slow to acknowledge or address their part in the problem. Maddy Haughton-Boakes, senior campaigner at the Changing Markets Foundation, and Gemma Hoskins, global methane lead at Mighty Earth, reveal what retailers can do to lead the charge towards a cleaner, lower-emissions future.
