Leading Climate Change Mitigation Policy Initiatives in Africa

This year I was chosen to serve on the 2023 Expert Advisory Panel for The Earthshot Prize (https://t.co/9F5ptfMezk). (1/4)

Ghana is the first country globally to complete regulatory support under the CCAC Fossil Fuel Regulatory Programme. This is an important milestone for methane action in Africa. The next priority is effective implementation.

Proud to have worked directly with @EPA_Ghana over the past four years to support the development of these important methane guidelines.

[Clean Air Task Force @cleanaircatf]

#Ghana has taken a landmark step in translating climate ambition into action, with the EPA finalizing comprehensive #methane guidelines for the oil and gas sector – establishing one of the most comprehensive methane regulatory frameworks in West Africa.

I am glad that all those trips have contributed to something meaningful.

My sincere appreciation goes to the EPA, @CCACoalition, all participating stakeholders, and my colleagues at @cleanaircatf who worked with me throughout this process.

[Mohammed Dahiru Aminu, Ph.D. @mdaminu]

Proud of our methane team at @cleanaircatf and grateful to work alongside such talented and committed colleagues. Proud of what we are accomplishing together and excited about the work ahead.

@farooqkperogi So sad!

[Mohammed Dahiru Aminu, Ph.D. @mdaminu]

With the right level of commitment and coordinated action, this challenge can be addressed more seriously and more sustainably.

That said, expectations remain high in other critical areas. Effective waste management is one of them, given its direct links to public health and environmental quality.

When it comes to conversations around climate change in Africa, methane often takes a back seat to CO2 & visible environmental issues - but it is quietly doing damage. Find out how African perspectives are powering progress on regional methane mitigation: https://t.co/w0TSSXKIAj

New CATF analysis reveals that hidden electricity costs are driving African businesses into financial distress. A case study in Benin shows how unreliable power is quietly stalling economic growth across Sub-Saharan Africa.

The objective is to support analysis of current operations and existing methane leakage to propose strategies to mitigate emissions and to develop a set of guidelines that can be applied in landfill operations across Cote d’Ivoire.

🚀 There’s a new methane-tracking satellite in orbit: @JAXA_en just launched GOSAT-GW, short for the Global Observing Satellite for Greenhouse gases and Water Cycle. The successful launch means we have another powerful tool to help drive methane transparency from space.
