About the Initiative
Methane is a powerful but short-lived climate pollutant that accounts for a third of net global warming since the Industrial Revolution. Rapidly reducing methane emissions from energy, agriculture and waste is regarded as the single most effective strategy to limit warming to 1.5˚C while yielding co-benefits, including additional energy source, industry profits, and improving public health and agricultural productivity.
CLEE’s methane work includes launching and supporting the Subnational Methane Action Coalition (SMAC) and leading research on methane satellite policy, landfill emission reduction strategies, and more.

Subnational Methane Action Coalition
CLEE helped to launch and build the Subnational Methane Action Coalition (SMAC), a global partnership of subnational jurisdictions leading the way on policy development and information-sharing to tackle the methane challenge.
