Home » Who We Are
We are a coalition of global organizations calling on world leaders to seize the methane moment at COP27. Join the pledge to cut methane pollution and save the planet.
Why Methane?
To save the planet, we need to reduce short-lived, but potent emissions of methane alongside efforts to decarbonize. Methane (CH4) is a greenhouse gas that traps over 80 times more heat in our atmosphere than carbon dioxide over the first 20 years. Swift action to reduce methane pollution from the world’s major sources is the most immediate way we can slow warming now.
Largest Sources of Methane

Hi @JohnKerry @jonasgahrstore @s_guilbeault @COP28_UAE an urgent commitment to a fossil fuels phase-out is needed. Anything less than full support for a phase-out well before 2050 in the #COP28 final statement risks our global future.
