Global Methane Pledge
Led by the European Union and the United States, the Global Methane Pledge was announced at COP 26 in November 2021.

The participants further commit to take comprehensive domestic actions to achieve that target and to move towards the highest-tier IPCC good practice inventory methodologies to quantify methane emissions.
