Abstract

To control the atmospheric methane concentration for Paris Agreement and Global Methane Pledge, it is urgent to elucidate global methane budget, in the context of dangerous high growth rate of atmospheric methane concentration in the past three years (2020-2022). Interdisciplinary research can definitely help answer the open questions about methane budget, as some examples shown in this Special Issue on "Methane emissions, sinks, and mitigation".
