the laboratories where they re made and the stash houses where they are stored. we also talked about meeting our commitments to make north america a clean energy power house. and i believe that s when our grasp. and a global leader in addressing the climate crisis. that means working together to promote zero emission vehicles, to build charging stations for electric vehicles that are compatible across our international borders. it means exploring shared markets for clean hydrogen. and it means working together to meet our ambitious commitments under the paris agreement, including tackling methane and black carbon. and, finally, as three vibrant democracies, we recognize our greatest strength is our people. let me say that again. vital democracies we are and our greatest strength are our
and methane is one of the gasses we can cut fastest. doing that will immediately slow down climate change. methane is an important greenhouse gas, making up about 20% of global emissions. it s extremely potent and has caused about 50% of current global warming. cutting all methane by a third by 2030 would reduce global temperatures by about 0.3 degrees by 2040. tackling methane from the oil and gas industry will be a priority. the easiest way to reduce emissions is to plug any leaks. you can t see methane unless you use a special camera like this one. it s a colourless, odourless gas but because it doesn t last for very long in the atmosphere, if you cut methane emissions now, you make a big difference fast. it s why reducing methane is seen as one of the easier climate fixes.
