When it comes specifically to digital identity, the good news is that technology is here to solve those problems. Right. The biggest challenge is adoption.

Mkutano wa 29 wa mkataba wa nchi wanachama wa Umoja wa Mataifa kuhusu mabadiliko ya tabianchi COP29 unaofanyika Baku Aberbaijana leo umejikita na ongezeko la gesi ya methane ambayo kwa kiasi kikubwa inachangiwa na shughuli za binadamu na nini kifanyike kuidhibiti. FKulingana na ripoti iliyozinduliwa leo na shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa wa mazingira UNEP katika mkutano huo, mfumo wa teknolojia ya hali ya juu ambao unatambua uvujaji mkubwa wa gesi ya methane umewasilisha tarifa 1,200 kwa serikali na makampuni katika kipindi cha miaka miwili iliyopita, lakini ni asilimia moja tu ya taarifa hizo ndizo zilizofanyiwa kazi.Ripoti hiyo mpya iliyopewa jina “Jicho kwenye methane: Haionekani lakini inashuhudiwa” inasema licha ya ahadi zilizotolewa chini ya makubaliano ya ahadi za kimataifa za kupunguza uzalishaji wa gesi ya methane kwa asilimia 30 ifikapo 2030 hatua zinazochukuliwa hazitoshelezi kupunguza gesi hiyo.Ripoti imeangazia tahadhari za methane kutoka kwenye Mfumo wa Tahadhari na hatua dhidi ya Methane MARS, ambayo ni sehemu ya UNEP ya uangalizi wa kimataifa wa uzalishaji wa methane IMEO ambayo unawakilisha fursa ambazo haijatumiwa kwa hatua za haraka dhidi ya mabadiliko ya tabianchi.Akizindua ripoti hiyo Inger Andersen, Mkurugenzi Mtendaji wa UNEP, amesema ili kuwa na nafasi yoyote ya kudhibiti ongezeko la joto duniani, uzalishaji wa methane lazima ushuke, na ushuke haraka."Tunapozingatia kuwa ni asilimia 1 tu ya taarifa 1200 ambazo tulitoa ndizo zilisababisha hatua kuchukuliwa, basi hauitaji kuwa mtaalamu wa hesabu ili kuhesabu ushindi mkubwa unaowezekana hapa. Tuna mifumo iliyothibitishwa ya kutambua uvujaji Mkubwa wa gesi ya methane ili uweze kukomeshwa haraka, mara nyingi kwa ukarabati rahisi na wakati mwingine tunazungumza juu ya kukaza mipira au kubadilisha vichungi.”Ameongeza, kuwa "Serikali na makampuni ya mafuta na gesi ambayo sehemu kubwa ya uchumi wa dunia bado inawategemea lazima waache kupiga domo kwa changamoto hii wakati majawabu yanawatazama usoni. Badala yake, wanapaswa kutambua fursa muhimu ambayo mfumo huu unatoa na kuanza kuchukua hatua kutokana na taarifa kwa kuziba uvujaji ambao unamwaga gesi ya methane ya joto kwenye angahewa.”Amehitimisha kwa kusema, "Serikali na sekta binafsi lazima zizuie uzalishaji wa methane, na lazima zifanye hivyo sasa."Gesi ya Methane kwenye angahewa ni kichocheo cha pili kikubwa cha ongezeko la joto duniani baada ya hewa ya ukaa au CO2 na ina nguvu zaidi ya mara 80 kuliko hewa ya ukaa katika kusambaa kwa muda mfupi.UNEP imesisitiza kuwa utoaji wa gesi ya methane duniani lazima upunguzwe kwa asilimia 40 hadi 45 ifikapo 2030 ili kufikia njia za gharama nafuu zinazopunguza ongezeko la joto duniani hadi kufikia nyuzi joto 1.5°C.Bado taarifa za sayansi za hivi karibuni zinaonyesha viwango vya angahewa vya methane vimepanda kwa kasi iliyovunja rekodi katika kipindi cha miaka 5 iliyopita.
