Methane is responsible for roughly 0.5°C of current global warming. Over 80 times more potent than CO₂ over 20 years, methane is the fastest lever we have to slow near-term heating. Agriculture, including livestock and rice, generates around 40% of methane emissions, more than fossil fuels. However, banks are failing to act on rising methane emissions in the agriculture sector.
A new report by the Changing Markets Foundation and Planet Tracker finds 80% of investors assessed scored less than 10% of available points on methane – with a particular gap in addressing agricultural methane emissions persisting.
Methane is responsible for roughly 0.5°C of current global warming and is over 80 times more potent than CO₂ over 20 years. With a short atmospheric lifetime, cutting methane is the fastest way to slow near-term warming.
Fertiliser and crop protection companies are central to global food production. However, there is growing recognition that their businesses are exposed to a range of sustainability related risks. These range from water pollution and eutrophication to biodiversity impacts, greenhouse gas emissions and toxic impacts on human health. These risks are drawing increasing regulatory scrutiny, reputational risk and consumer pressure.
Explore the disclosure evidence from 20 agricultural companies analyzed in Planet Tracker’s report on sustainability risk transparency. Navigate through the disclosures found by analyzing 7,000+ pages across 43 documents from the year 2024, compare company practices, and investigate the evidence behind our findings.
New research from Planet Tracker urges investors to address rising agri-food methane emissions, warning that the Global Methane Pledge is unachievable without a step change in action from the sector.
Methane has more than 80 times the warming effect of CO2 over a 20-year period and is responsible for 30% of global warming since the industrial revolution. This report calculates the methane footprint and analyses the targets and reduction plans of 52 of the world’s largest meat, dairy and rice companies.
The fifth and supposedly final round of negotiations for a Global Plastics Treaty (INC-5.2) has concluded; not with progress, but with paralysis. Despite tireless efforts from many countries and civil society representatives – and the presence of environment ministers expected to help broker compromises – delegates in Geneva failed to reach agreement on even the basic building blocks of a legally binding treaty.
Differing interests between oil and gas companies and chemical producers has created a structural tension in the petrochemical value chain, with energy suppliers seeking to sell more of their products to an industry that seeks to wean itself off them. This note draws on recent research from Carbon Tracker and Planet Tracker to highlight this structural tension and the associated risks for each of the two industries.
