10月3日新西兰新闻秘书处消息，新西兰气候变化部长詹姆斯·肖(JamesShaw)今天宣布，新西兰已与超过105个国家一起发起全球甲烷承诺。 这一承诺一夜之间在格拉斯哥的COP 26上启动，旨在减少全球甲烷排放，以实现将升温限制在1.5摄氏度的目标。据估计，到2050年，全球甲烷承诺的实施将使全球变暖至少减少0.2摄氏度。加入这一承诺的国家承诺，到2030年，全球甲烷排放量将比2020年水平至少减少30%。
詹姆斯·肖说：“今天签署这项承诺是建立在我们承诺到2030年将新西兰的温室气体净排放量减少50%的基础上的。 新西兰很高兴成为全球倡议的一部分，该倡议将为实现将全球变暖限制在1.5摄氏度的目标作出重大贡献， 削减甲烷的目标将共同实现。 新西兰将发挥自己的作用，实现我们去年通过的“零碳法”中规定的生物成因甲烷目标，以及减少化石燃料中的甲烷。新西兰的目标是到2030年将生物甲烷排放量比2017年减少10%，到2050年减少24%至47%”。
詹姆斯·肖(James Shaw)说：“我们明年公布的减排计划将列出我们将采取的行动，以实现这些目标，包括我们正在与农业部门一起开展的世界领先工作，以成为世界上第一个为农业排放定价的国家”。
新西兰自格拉斯哥全球气候谈判开始以来签署的其他主要宣言包括“格拉斯哥领导人森林和土地使用宣言”和“高雄心联盟领导人宣言”。
3 November ，NZ joins global initiative to tackle methane New Zealand has joined with more than 105 countries to launch the Global Methane Pledge, Minister of Climate Change James Shaw announced today.
The pledge, launched overnight at COP26 in Glasgow, is an initiative to reduce global methane emissions in order to achieve the goal of limiting warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius. Delivering on the Global Methane Pledge is estimated to reduce warming by at least 0.2 degrees Celsius by 2050.
Countries joining the pledge commit to a collective global target to reduce global methane emissions by at least 30 percent from 2020 levels by 2030.
“Signing the pledge today builds on the commitment we have made to cut New Zealand’s net greenhouse emissions by 50 percent by 2030,” James Shaw said.
New Zealand is pleased to be part of a global initiative that will make a substantial contribution to achieving the goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees.
The target to cut methane will be achieved collectively. New Zealand will play its part by meeting the biogenic methane targets set out in the Zero Carbon Act we passed last year, as well as by reducing methane from fossil fuels.
New Zealand aims to cut biogenic methane emissions by 10 percent on 2017 levels by 2030 and by between 24 to 47 percent lower by 2050.
The Emissions Reduction Plan we publish next year will set out the action we will take to meet those targets, including the world leading work we are doing with the farming sector to become the first country in the world to price agriculture emissions,” James Shaw said.
Other major declarations New Zealand has signed since the start of global climate negotiations in Glasgow include the Glasgow Leaders’ Declaration on Forests and Land Use and the High Ambition Coalition Leaders Declaration.
