Climate & Clean Air Coalition

Today, the UN Secretary-General launched a global Call to Action on Methane, outlining nine priority actions across fossil fuels, agriculture, and waste to deliver cleaner air, healthier communities, and stronger food systems.

In response, Canada and the European Union, Co-Conveners of the Global Methane Pledge, issued a joint statement endorsing the initiative and urging countries to accelerate implementation ahead of COP31.

Another strong signal came from London Climate Action Week, where the United Kingdom, Canada, and the European Commission highlighted methane abatement in the energy sector as a key pillar of energy security.

London Climate Action Week: Daily Update – 23 June "London isn't just calling, it’s cooking.”

Cutting methane emissions is one of the fastest, cheapest and most effective ways to slow global warming.

At UN Secretary-General António Guterres set out priority actions for governments, industry and financial institutions to accelerate methane reductions this decade.

Climate & Clean Air Coalition

As gets underway, methane and other super pollutants are increasingly taking centre stage, underscoring the growing importance of issues that the Climate and Clean Air Coalition’s state and non-state partners have advanced together for more than a decade.

Egypt, Brazil, and Bosnia and Herzegovina join the Fossil Fuel Regulatory Programme to abate methane in their energy sectors.

The Fossil Fuel Regulatory Programme supports low- and middle-income governments in building the regulatory infrastructure needed to identify and reduce methane emissions from oil, gas, and coal operations.

Through this Programme, Clean Air Task Force and Climate & Clean Air Coalition will work with each country on tailored, sector-specific priorities.
