🗣️"Focusing on methane is a no-brainer. It’s not only necessary but also good for our health, planet, and wallet"
Important read from @KavehMadani in @Forbes today on the urgency of tackling methane emissions ⬇️
Last week, COP28 UAE-G20 Brazil Presidency hosted the first joint event between a COP Presidency-G20 partnership, representing significant alignment between the G20 and COP agendas on sustainable finance, with Brazil being the sixth G20 country to endorse the Framework.
On the sidelines of the G20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors Meeting in Brazil, COP28 Director General Majid Al Suwaidi met with finance ministers, government officials, leaders of international financial institutions, and civil society from Italy, Spain, and India.
These discussions focused on advancing the implementation of the COP28 Global Climate Finance Framework principles to:
* Deliver collective action
* Create opportunities for all
* Delivering at Scale

#HLPF side event: Countries need to increase their NDC ambition to achieve climate goals
Methane action is crucial for this, as it is the most powerful lever we can pull to immediately slow our current rate of warming as we decarbonise

Climate super pollutants are emitted from every economic sector and across the globe, including power generation, fossil fuel production and distribution, industrial processes, agriculture, transportation, buildings, and waste management.

Today, we were proud to participate in the Biden-Harris Administration’s White House Super Pollutants Summit and to announce over $300 million in new funding to continue this important work!

Black carbon, Methane, Tropospheric ozone, & HFCs are major contributors to #GlobalWarming after CO2, causing up to 45% of it. We must #ActNow to reduce these pollutants, or they could account for up to half of human-caused warming in the coming decades.

Game-changer for environmental monitoring! MethaneSAT’s capability to detect detailed emissions data from point sources & larger areas will significantly enhance our efforts to tackle methane pollution worldwide. @EnvDefenseFund@CCACoalition@GlobalMethane@moefcc@CPCB_OFFICIAL
Here's what you'll be able to see with MethaneSAT data:
👉 high-emitting point sources
👉 aggregate emissions from small sources within a km2 area down to 3ppb
👉 methane levels from entire regions, countries, oilfields, covering 80% of 🌎 production.
🚨 From @guardian: The world just saw 12 straight months with temperatures 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels.
➡️ Joining forces to #CutMethane is the fastest way to tackle climate change in the short term.
