This report is a product of the Global Methane Assessment (GMA) by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and UNEP-convened Climate and Clean Air Coalition that details projections of anthropogenic methane emissions through 2030 under various baseline scenarios and assesses the climate...

The Imperative of Cutting Methane from Fossil Fuels by the International Energy Agency (IEA) in partnership with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the UNEP-convened Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC) builds on findings from the IEA’s recently updated pathway to limit global...

Sharp and rapid reductions in methane emissions this decade are essential to limiting global warming to 1.5°C. While carbon dioxide has a longer-lasting effect, methane has 80 times the warming power of CO2 in the first 20 years after emissions reach the atmosphere, meaning methane is setting the...

An Eye on Methane: International Methane Emissions Observatory 2022 Report delves into the progress made to achieve deep reduction of methane emissions, starting with the fossil fuel sector. We need a strong basis for action grounded on improved emissions data to close the emissions gap and reduce...

CCAC Methane Roadmap Action Programme (M-RAP) supports countries to develop Methane Action Plans and implementation Roadmaps detailing their commitment to mitigate methane, and how this commitment will be achieved. The M-RAP acknowledges that countries are not at the same stage in their methane...

Based on lessons learned from the Nigeria example and also from gathered information from Mexico and other countries that are in more advanced stages of developing policies for methane abatement in the O&G sector, this document provides some basic guide/information on how to develop short-lived...

The Country Methane Abatement Tool (CoMAT) empowers governments with the ability to estimate how much methane pollution they can reduce from their country’s oil and gas industries, even when they have limited information about the industry and its current emissions. CoMAT is free to use and...

2021 is the moment for methane. The CCAC-UNEP Global Methane Assessment set out an opportunity to change the climate trajectory within the next 20 years—a critical timeframe for slowing warming and self- reinforcing feedbacks enough to avoid passing dangerous tipping points. The 6th Assessment...

This site displays analyses from the Global Methane Assessment: Benefits and Costs of Mitigating Methane Emissions, which provides an in-depth analysis of opportunities to reduce methane emissions from all sectors and regions as well as the associated costs and the benefits to human health, crops...

The GHG mitigation assessment aims to evaluate the potential to reduce GHG emissions through the implementation of different policies and measures in Eswatini. This assessment aims to inform the updating of the NDC, and to provide recommendations as to possible GHG reduction targets for Eswatini...

President Biden and President Von der Leyen announced at the September 17 Major Economies Forum (MEF) meeting that the United States and the European Union are inviting countries to support the Global Methane Pledge to be launched at COP 26 in November 2021 in Glasgow. Participants joining the...

These key messages on methane for COP28 were developed to support GMP community messaging at COP28. These messages were prepared by the CCAC Secretariat - which provides secretariat services to the GMP - in collaboration with the GMP Champions.

The Global Methane Assessment by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and UNEP-convened Climate and Clean Air Coalition shows that human-caused methane emissions can be reduced by up to 45 per cent this decade. Such reductions would avoid nearly 0.3°C of global warming by 2045 and would...
