Methane, a greenhouse gas 80 times more potent than CO2 in the near term, is a critical yet often overlooked driver of climate change. Rapidly reducing methane emissions, especially from sectors like energy, agriculture, and waste, is essential to limiting global warming to 1.5°C. To address this urgency, CCCI developed the Subnational Methane Monitor to provide the first centralized platform tracking subnational methane policies, projects, and emissions in the United States and China.

By aggregating data on regulations, evaluating policy ambition, mapping pilot projects, and visualizing emission trends, the platform empowers jurisdictions to identify gaps, benchmark progress, and share best practices. Bridging the gap between local action and global climate goals, the Subnational Methane Monitor turns data into actionable insights, accelerating collaboration to curb this super-pollutant.
