France's reversal weakens EU methane leak regulation
Original: Tracking methane leaks to slow global warming: European regulation project weakened by France's reversal
France has reversed its position on a European regulation designed to track and curb methane leaks, a potent greenhouse gas, weakening the proposed EU framework aimed at slowing global warming. The about-face has drawn criticism from climate advocates, who argue that robust methane monitoring is essential to meeting emissions targets.
Why now: France's sudden policy reversal undermines a key piece of EU climate legislation at a time of heightened scrutiny over methane emissions.
