Global Methane Hub CEO Marcelo Mena released a report by the Climate & Clean Air Coalition and UN Environment Programme titled Hidden Assets: The economic and health case for climate and clean air action.

Reducing methane gas is the fastest way to address climate change in the short term. Methane emissions have contributed to roughly 30% of current warming, causing harm to communities around the globe. Reducing methane by 45% is crucial to reducing warming by 0.3 degrees Celsius by 2040 and putting us on a path to a healthy future. While many countries have methane reduction strategies in place, this is the first coordinated approach to methane mitigation funding. We move fast, are nimble, and operate with ambition and vision. The Hub focuses on the energy, agricultural, and waste sectors which account for 96% of human-caused methane emissions. We support ambitious catalytic investments, lay the groundwork for long-term transformation of challenging sectors, and also deliver quick wins in sectors that are ripe for action on the ground. Our actions are global in nature, based out of Santiago, Chile. We focus on the highest emitting sectors and regions.
