Key PointsReducing methane emissions is key to limiting warming to 1.5 or 2.0°C in emission pathways to 2050 The climate response of wetland methane emissions is an important uncertainty in how much anthropogenic emissions will need to be reduced Atmospheric observations and inverse modeling are crucial to monitoring emission reduction measures and changes in wetland emissions
