Three amigos to crack down on methane
Mexico “North America has the capacity, resources and the moral imperative to show strong leadership building on the Paris Agreement and promoting its early entry into force,” the countries’ joint statement read. The initiative to bring down methane emissions from oil and gas operations was first initiated by US President Barack Obama and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in March.
While the pledge made on Wednesday at the so-called Three Amigos meeting in Ottawa, where Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto met with Obama and Trudeau for talks on the North America Free Trade Agreement, is mostly symbolic in nature, Canada aims to unveil regulation to cut methane emissions by early 2017.
