A Turning Point for Methane: Leaders Move to Pull the Climate Emergency Brake at COP30

Excerpt from cop30.br

Brazil, China and the United Kingdom, with support from the COP30 Presidency, co-hosted a methane summit, bringing together representatives from Barbados, France, Germany, the Climate and Clean Air Coalition, and Bloomberg Philanthropies. The summit launched a set of landmark initiatives to accelerate global action on methane and other non-CO₂ greenhouse gases - the fastest, most effective way to slow the pace of climate change and deliver immediate benefits for air quality, food security, and public health.

Together, these announcements signal a new era of cooperation, transparency and responsibility to cut methane and other non-CO2 gases through aligned regulation, fast mitigation, and fairer markets.
