Climate Transparency reports that Indonesia's largest source of methane emissions comes from the waste sector. It accounts for 56% of Indonesia's total methane emissions in 2019.

Meanwhile, the second largest source is the agricultural sector at 30%, followed by the energy sector at 14%.

The research team writes that the large proportion from the waste sector has undergone significant changes compared to 1990. Previously, the energy and agricultural sectors produced significantly larger emissions than the waste sector.

Indonesia signed the Global Methane Pledge at COP26 in November 2021. Through this agreement, participating countries pledged to make voluntary contributions to collectively reduce global methane emissions by at least 30% from 2020 levels by 2030.

"Further monitoring of the plans and their implementation is needed," the research team wrote in the report, *Climate Transparency Report: Comparing G20 Climate Action*.

Methane is a potent greenhouse gas; although short-lived, it contributes to about one-third of global warming.

Climate Transparency calculated that Indonesia's methane emissions (excluding LULUCF) increased by 180% between 1990 and 2019, reaching 232 MtCO2e/year.

"Methane emissions have increased in all sectors since 1990, but the most prominent is the waste sector, which increased by 3,703%," the report states.
