Climate Bonds Initiative published a report on methane abatement and carbon lock-in, focusing on agriculture and energy sectors. The report argues that financing needed to cut methane is low compared to sector revenues, so the challenge is manageable. It examines how guidance from Climate Bonds, ICMA, and loan market associations supports methane reductions while maintaining transition finance integrity. The report also analyzes sources of carbon lock-in and suggests a framework for practitioners, academics, and governments to assess transition finance investments. This is a practical resource for anyone working on climate finance, methane policy, or decarbonization strategies.
