Pro-establishment narrative
Helping Turkmenistan successfully mitigate its methane emissions would reflect a major achievement in tackling the climate crisis. The real work starts by cutting emissions, and demonstrating results through performing measurements, transparent reporting, and effective mitigation.
Establishment-critical narrative
Plugging Turkmenistan's giant methane leaks is vital for reaching our climate goals. However, Turkmenistan is just one of many super-emitters that must be addressed.
