THANK YOU*MEP Paulus will host an evening dedicated to the often overlooked subject of methane emissions. Methane is 80x more potent than CO2 over a 20 year time period in the atmosphere, so reducing methane emissions is one of the fastest ways to slow global warming in the short-term and will help achieve the EU's 2030 climate target.The European Parliament is currently working on its report in response to the European Commission's proposed text for a Methane Regulation - a crucial piece of legislation that has the potential to massively lower Europe's internal and external methane footprint.The evening will feature keynote speeches from senior European Commission and Parliament officials, as well as two panel discussions hosted by co-host organisation partners, Environmental Defense Fund Europe and Climate Action Network (CAN) Europe.The full programme:17:30-18:00 - The EU's role in reducing methane emissionsSpeakers: Catharina Sikow-Magny, Director of Green Transition and Energy System Integration, DG EnergyMartin HOJSIK MEP (Renew)Jutta PAULUS MEP (Greens/EFA)Anna ZALEWSKA (ECR)Mick WALLACE (The Left)18:00-18:15 - Intermission18:15-19:00 - Panel: How satellite technology is ushering in a new era of climate transparencySpeakers:Daniel Zavala, Senior Scientist, Environmental Defense Fund EuropeDr. Claus Zehner, Mission Manager, Sentinel 5-P, European Space AgencyMEP Jutta Paulus, Greens/EFA, Methane Regulation RapporteurM﻿oderator: Frédéric Simon19:00-19:15 - Intermission19:15-20:00 - Panel: Critical perspective on methane and its role in phasing out fossil gasSpeakers:Moderator: Esther Bollendorff, Senior EU Gas Policy Coordinator, CAN EuropeJames Turitto, Campaign Manager, Methane Pollution Prevention, Clean Air Task ForceJulian Schwartztkopff, Policy adviser energy &amp; climate, Deutsche Umwelthilfe e.V.
