| description | Methane is a strong green gas that has higher GWP. Methane emissions, therefore, form one of the critical focuses within climate change mitigation policy. Indeed, the present study represents a very novel analysis of methane emission within the ESG framework by using the data across 193 countries within the period of 2011–2020. Methane reduction on account of ESG delivers prompt climate benefits and thereby preserves the core environment, social, and governance objectives. In spite of its importance, the role of methane remains thinly explored within ESG metrics. This study analyzes how factors like renewable energy use, effective governance, and socioeconomic settings influence the emission rate of the study subject, as many previous ESG studies are deficient in considering methane. By using econometric modeling, this research identifies that increasing methane emissions remain unabated with the improvement of ESG performances around the world, particularly within key agricultural and fossil fuel-based industrial sectors. Renewable energy cuts emissions, but energy importation simply transfers the burdens to exporting nations. It therefore involves effective governance and targeted internationational cooperation, as socioeconomic elements act differently in different developed and developing countries to drive various emission sources. These findings strongly call for balanced, targeted strategies to integrate actions of mitigation into ESG goals related to methane abatement. |
