30+ countries representing ~50% of global #methane emissions from organic waste have endorsed the #COP29 declaration in AZ 🇦🇿

Pledging to set targets is positive - but aligning with #GlobalMethanePledge's 30% reduction target would show real ambition.

✅Separate & collect food waste
✅Demand binding targets
Share your actions! #EWWR2024
