Cattle-exporting nations urge global climate policies to treat livestock methane differently due to its short lifespan and natural cycle.
Cattle producers from eleven major beef-exporting nations are calling for global climate policies to treat livestock methane differently from long-lived gases like carbon dioxide.
They argue that methane’s short atmospheric life and natural carbon cycle mean current carbon-equivalent measurements overstate its climate impact.
New Zealand and Uruguay have already set separate methane targets, with New Zealand aiming for a 14–24% reduction in livestock methane by 2050.
Advocates say this approach enables more realistic, science-based policies, encourages technology investment, and prevents unfair blame on beef production.
They urge unified global standards to align climate goals with scientific understanding and support farmers’ efforts.
