Reducing methane emissions is the single fastest way to slow global warming as we decarbonize, but the world needs empirical data to enable climate action at scale.
UNEP’s International Methane Emissions Observatory (IMEO) is harnessing this methane data revolution by putting open, reliable, and actionable data directly into the hands of individuals with the power to reduce emissions.
Methane data is critical for closing the emissions gap by focusing mitigation efforts and tracking progress over time. Situated at the centre of the world’s methane data ecosystem, IMEO collects, synthesizes,
and publishes data from its Methane Science Studies; from satellites via the Methane Alert and Response System (MARS); through rigorous industry reporting via the Oil and Gas Methane Partnership 2.0 (OGMP 2.0); and from national emissions inventories. IMEO is a core implementing partner of the Global Methane Pledge – which is an attempt by 150 countries, led by the EU and US, to reduce global methane emissions by 30 per cent by 2030 from 2020 levels.
