As CCAP’s MAIN program progresses, exploring possible policy options and strategies within the nationally appropriate mitigation action (NAMA) framework that curb emissions and promote sustainable development is essential.

Methane, or CH4, is a particularly potent greenhouse gas with 25 times the warming potential as CO2.
