Time For CH4nge

Methane: The Emergency Brake for our Climate

Methane (CH₄) is a powerful, invisible greenhouse gas accelerating climate change.

From heatwaves to wildfires and extreme weather, it’s impacts can be felt around the world.

But here is good news: Cutting methane emissions is our climate emergency brake. It’s one of the fastest and most cost-effective ways to slow global warming.

We have the tools. The solutions are here. The benefits are immediate.

Now is the Time for CH₄nge.

The Methane Circle

Despite global pledges, emissions are still climbing – but not uncontrollably.

Explore the Methane Circle, a visual timeline that shows how methane levels have increased year by year. Each ring marks a growing challenge – but also highlights the window we have to act.

The next five years offer an opportunity to change course – affordably, effectively, and fast.

WHAT THE EXPERTS SAY

Insights from leading authorities on methane emissions, climate action, and the urgent need for change.

"Cutting methane emissions is both a win for the environment, and a win for energy security."

Flavia Sollazzo

Environmental Defense Fund Europe

"Methane reductions in the short term are the fastest way we have to avoid the worst effects of climate change."

Manfredi Caltagirone

Head of the International Methane Emissions Observatory at UNEP

"Mitigating methane is the fastest, most effective way to reduce global temperatures in the short term."

Marcelo Mena-Carrasco

CEO of the Global Methane Hub

THE COUNTDOWN HAS BEGUN

Our window of opportunity is now

Achieving climate targets requires a 75% reduction in methane emissions by 2030.

Every moment counts.

We’re Out of Time

Get Involved

Let’s bring methane into the heart of the climate agenda.

Thanks to breakthrough technologies, we can now see methane emissions like never before. The invisible is visible – and impossible to ignore. But data alone won’t cut pollution – action will.

The EU is at a pivotal moment. By taking swift, ambitious steps to cut methane from fossil fuel operations, Europe can:

Deliver fast climate wins
Boost energy security and efficiency
Buy time to tackle long-lived CO₂

This is our chance to lead – and to act.
