COP29 has come to a close, and while people have mixed feelings about the outcome, it’s clear that we are in a much different place than in 2016, and the momentum towards climate action will not change. It also became clear that we can play a role as torchbearers of the Global Methane Pledge and continue to make strides in mitigation. After two weeks of productive discussions around successes, challenges, and opportunities – coupled with the COP29 Presidency’s announcement of its COP29 Reducing Methane from Organic Waste Declaration to cut methane emissions from waste dumps – global leaders are departing Azerbaijan with a renewed commitment to collaborative climate action. GMH was on the ground in Baku announcing new funding and hosting a series of events at our Methane Action Pavilion on the urgent threat of and opportunities to curb methane emissions. These events catalyzed climate action by bringing together global policymakers, scientists, activists, and philanthropists to participate in thought-provoking discussions to highlight initiatives to reduce methane emissions worldwide, reflect on progress, identify gaps, and chart a bold path forward. One such initiative - Data to Action - arms citizens, governments, and corporations with data to track and address harmful emissions. A top priority for GMH as data transparency is crucial in the fight against climate change, we announced a new $5 million grant to Carbon Mapper and a $5 million grant to MethaneSAT, and we're proud to host new satellite data releases from both partners. Methane mitigation is no longer a niche issue—it is a global priority. A dramatic reduction of methane emissions by 2030 is key to keeping global warming under 1.5 degrees Celsius. GMH remains committed to supporting the ambitious efforts needed to address this challenge, and we are grateful to our partners for their steadfast dedication. Together, we have the tools, knowledge, and momentum to transform goals into action. Let us seize this moment. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/gq4Ud6tt

This is progress in action. We’re honored to partner with Agriculture Innovation Mission for Climate (AIM for Climate) on this mission. #COP29

We’re driving meaningful change together—don’t miss this article from Frontiers on the imperatives for reducing methane emissions #COP29

On the last day of #COP29 we’re diving into Urbanization and Waste, exploring how methane emissions from urban waste contribute to climate change. Join us for expert-led discussions on innovative strategies for urban waste management and reducing emissions. We’re at Pavilion J1

'We need more trust in the system: in farmers, in solutions and in the future of farms and farming. You can have the tools, but if there's no trust, we won't get there,' was the message of former Costa Rican president Carlos Alvarado Quesada during today's event on methane mitigation in livestock. The event brought together a wide range of experts and explored the differentiated but shared responsibilities of methane mitigation. Thank you to all who joined us for this important conversation. Mark van Nieuwland, Gregory Kohler, Babafemi O. OYEWOLE,, Martina Otto, Zitouni Ould-Dada, Donald Moore, and Laura Cramer. Thank you to the Climate & Clean Air Coalition and Global Methane Hub.

We’re collaborating at #COP29 to drive climate solutions forward with our partners Clean Air Task Force. Let’s make an impact!

It’s day 7 at #COP29 and today’s focus is on Agriculture and Waste, and the role methane plays in both. Join us at Pavilion J1 as we discuss the urgent need for sustainable agricultural practices and waste management solutions to curb methane emissions and protect our planet. Today’s lineup:

Today at #COP29, our CEO Marcelo insightfully spoke at “Advancing Clean Cooking Access in Africa, Latin America & the Caribbean: Triple Win for Nature, Gender & Health!” Leaders discussed how clean cooking can cut emissions, improve public health and empower local communities. 

As we return for Day 6 of #COP29, we're focusing on the critical intersection of methane and health. Join us in Pavilion J1 for impactful discussions on how methane emissions affect public health and the steps we can take to mitigate their impact. Today’s sessions include:
