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.

A long list of polluters including Russia, the US, Iran, Iraq, China, Libya, Algeria, Venezuela, and Canada also need to make a dent in their methane emissions for global warming to be tackled successfully.
