While more countries are working to reduce their national methane emissions, many state and regional governments — which hold direct authority over the landfill, wastewater, and agricultural systems that emit the most — don’t have comprehensive methane action plans in place. 💨
In a first-of-its-kind partnership under the Subnational Methane Action Coalition, the Maryland Department of the Environment and UC Berkeley Center for Law, Energy, and the Environment (CLEE) are working together to strengthen methane action in the US state of Maryland.
We’re glad to see Climate TRACE data being put to work in this joint effort. Learn how testing these tools in Maryland will help improve them for other subnational leaders around the world: clee.berkeley.edu/maryland-s…
Rice is a staple crop for more than one billion people, but across South Asia, high-resolution information about where it grows remains limited. That kind of data is critical to support food security assessments, agricultural monitoring, and climate-related research. 🍚
That’s why members of the Climate TRACE team analyzed satellite imagery to contribute to SARice: a new 10 m-resolution dataset of rice extent and cropping frequency across South Asia for 2020-2021. Learn more in @ScientificData : nature.com/articles/s41597-0…
Reducing carbon dioxide emissions tends to be the main focus of efforts to combat climate change, but there are plenty of other superpollutants that have an outsized impact on global temperatures — some of which can be cut much faster.
For example, methane is a potent greenhouse gas. Climate TRACE estimates that the top 10% of landfills we monitor account for 70% of methane emissions from waste. That's valuable data for decision-makers working with limited resources that want to make the most impact.
In a new @Reuters op-ed, Maria Mendiluce of the @WMBtweets explores why tackling superpollutant sources needs to be a key part of climate action: reuters.com/sustainability/c…
Decarbonization across our planet is critical, but the most effective pathways to get there vary from place to place. 🛣️
This new report from Arc highlights how localized asset-level data can help build a more accurate picture of a company’s real-world footprint and help decision-makers choose the most relevant ways they can contribute to the clean energy transition: arcconnect.global/news/one-s…
For example, Climate TRACE and @GlobalEnergyMon have been working with Arc to paint more detailed pictures of all assets in a company’s portfolio, improving our understanding of their associated emissions: arcconnect.global/news/stren…
Our shipping sector lead OceanMind examines how the Strait of Hormuz crisis has affected shipping traffic across the Persian Gulf, and by extension, the emissions from those vessels and ports.
Their analysis reveals that combined monthly shipping activity and corresponding emissions dropped a whopping 97% between January and May 2026, and traffic remains low even today: oceanmind.global/knowledge-h…
The analysis is based on data on vessel activity in nautical miles and emissions in tonnes CO2e allocated between origin and destination ports — the same methodology they use to format Climate TRACE shipping data: climatetrace.org/explore#adm…
The Central African Copperbelt is the world’s largest source of copper and cobalt, which are both crucial components for sustainable technologies. For the green transition to be truly clean, we need to understand how extracting these critical minerals impacts local communities.
We can also track how harmful particulate matter (PM2.5) drifts from mining facilities towards surrounding communities. Watch how wind conditions can blow PM2.5 plumes from two “super emitters” on the border of Kitwe both into the city and towards neighboring Ndola.
Learn how these data-driven tools and insights can help ensure that the country’s economic development strategies also benefit the local communities that power Zambia’s mining industry: climatetrace.org/news/cleani…
Methane is second only to carbon dioxide in contributing to climate change. However, many solutions to reduce methane emissions are achievable relatively quickly, with landfill gas capture, flaring, and energy recovery presenting some of the best mitigation opportunities.
Last month, Climate TRACE’s Benedicte de Gelder joined @UNEPCCC experts to discuss how granular methane emissions data can help decision-makers identify, prioritize, develop, and monitor landfill methane mitigation projects: unepccc.org/events/webinar-a…
