#Methane is responsible for around 30% of current global warming — but cutting it could help slow warming relatively quickly.
As policy-makers, business leaders and civil society gather under France’s G7 presidency to discuss methane reduction, more than 250 scientists have issued a 10-point plan to accelerate action.

Everyone wants a more sustainable food system that helps meet climate goals, but most ppl rarely hear directly from the ppl doing the work. That's exactly we, along with our co-hosts, @sparkclimate, @ucdavisCAES & @CDFAnews, are convening the 2026 State of the Science Summit. 1/
What do 250 scientists from dozens of countries and disciplines all agree on?
That cutting methane is one of the best tools we have to slow warming
That we can and should move much faster on methane action
And that we have a plan to do just that
Methane, a potent greenhouse gas, was discovered 250 years ago near Angera, Italy.
Experts are gathering near the site of that discovery to help shape methane’s future.
This week, 250 scientists released the Angera Declaration: a 10-point plan to accelerate methane action.
So, what's actually working on-farm, what's scalable, and what's next? Find out on June 16, 17 & 18 at @ucdavis. You'll want a seat at this one.
Summit organizers: @UCDavisCLEAR, @sparkclimate, @ucdavisCAES, and @CDFAnews. 2/
250 years after the discovery of methane, we know the solution: cut methane now. #TimeForCH4nge
🎙️ Right ahead of the Methane Action for People & Planet: From Discovery to Solutions conference, in this episode of Super Pollutants Gossips, @CavalieriSandra and @avabahramii speak with:
• Steven Hamburg, Chief Scientist, @EnvDefenseFund
• Ben Poulter, Senior Scientist, Greenhouse Gas Feedbacks, @sparkclimate
• Greet Maenhout, Deputy Director, Sustainable Resources Directorate & Head of the Land and Climate Unit, @EU_Commission Joint Research Centre

That possibility is one motivation for Spark’s work to accelerate the assessment of the viability of atmospheric methane removal to inform the climate solutions portfolio. https://t.co/xL6wnSJRiz
New research from @MIT's Qindan Zhu and Arlene Fiore—supported in part by Spark—explores how climate change could alter the chemistry that removes methane from the atmosphere.
The implications of this and future research into this topic could be significant. If methane breaks down more slowly, it will remain in the atmosphere longer, which means: higher methane concentrations and even more warming.
On this week's episode of the K-State Regen Ag Podcast, we spoke with Dr. Maria Bowman, currently of @sparkclimate, about a report she co-authored while at USDA-ERS on the profitability of soil health practices.

📣Methane causes ~30% of global warming, and even with emissions reductions, a gap will remain by 2050. Biological methane removal (bioMR) is one of the most promising frontiers for closing that gap. With @sparkclimate, we convened 30 experts to map the highest-leverage research opportunities, resulting in 22 problem statements.

The Endangerment Finding—a key pillar of U.S. climate policy—is on the chopping block.
New DOE emails show the report used to justify repeal was deeply flawed and shaped to support a predetermined outcome. New piece by Spark's Phil Duffy for @UCSUSA : https://t.co/1asF35gXmC

Where is the climate field headed in 2026? Heatmap News surveyed top climate insiders—including Spark's @embrein—for their insights on everything from technology to policy to jargon. Check it out.
Almost a year into Trump 2.0, where does the global effort to decarbonize stand? To find out, Heatmap picked the brains of 55 leading figures in the climate world — and their responses were fascinating.
