Next week, researchers and technical experts from more than 30 institutions are gathering in Hong Kong for the 2026 International Workshop on Methane Observation and Quantification 🧵

[International Methane Emissions Observatory (IMEO) @MethaneData]

🚀 This year’s workshop follows the successful launch of the Multi-Spectral Imaging Carbon Observatory (MUSICO) payload, which is now aboard China’s Tiangong space station.

@UNEP CH4rt explores how art and creativity can help bring these issues into wider public conversation.
🎨 CH4rt Competition in a nutshell:
👉 Make the invisible visible
👉 Create through illustration, digital art or mixed media
📅 Submit your artwork by 14 June 2026

💡 As methane monitoring technologies rapidly expand — from satellites to ground-based measurements — public understanding and engagement are becoming increasingly important to accelerate action to #CutMethane.

[International Methane Emissions Observatory (IMEO) @MethaneData]

Methane emissions are invisible to the naked eye — but their impact on the climate is not. The CH4rt Competition, part of the #TimeForCH4nge campaign, invites young people across Europe to use creativity and visual storytelling to bring methane into public view.

🛰️ Detecting methane emissions is only the first step. Turning alerts into action to #CutMethane requires response and follow-through on the ground. 🧵

@UNEP @IEA and accelerate action — including the recent launch of country-level MARS response rates and the world’s top 50 methane sources.

🔑 Improving response rates helps ensure countries do not leave opportunities for rapid, high-impact methane reductions on the table.
