Abstract

The Global Methane Pledge was launched by the EU and the US with the aim to cut 30 % of methane (CH4) emissions by 2030. Livestock systems are major contributors to CH4 emissions. This study assesses a combined tax and subsidy policy tool applied at the farm level that would allow to reach the 30% reduction target for livestock CH4. The simulation is applied to the Italian commercial livestock farms as represented by the Farm Accountancy Data Network. Findings could be used to help policymakers understand the diversified impacts of the target on farms and evaluate possible compensation they could provide for a more just transition.
