WHY

?

It’s time to place methane at the heart of the climate conversation!

For too long, methane (CH4) has been overlooked in climate discussions despite being responsible for one-third of today’s global warming.

While carbon dioxide rightly gets attention, cutting methane offers a faster route to slow climate change.

Today, we have the tools to make that happen. Breakthrough technologies now allow us to detect and track methane emissions with unprecedented precision – making the invisible visible, and impossible to ignore.

But data alone won’t solve this. We need action. We need accountability. We need CHnge. Time for CHnge is a collaborative campaign that fuses science and storytelling to drive bold climate action. Led by Environmental Defense Fund Europe (EDFE), the initiative brings together scientists, civil society, artists, advocates, and policymakers to elevate methane as a climate priority – and cut emissions before it’s too late.

 

OUR GOAL:

Cut methane emissions from the oil and gas sector by at least 75% by 2030

One of the fastest, most cost-effective ways to curb near-term warming, keep the Paris Agreement within reach and prevent the most severe and unnatural climate disasters.

How We Drive CH₄nge:

Raise
Awareness

Build a diverse community to spotlight methane as a critical climate issue.

Mobilise
Action

Equip civil society, industry, and decision-makers with knowledge and tools to demand action.

Demand
Accountability

Ensure governments and companies follow through on their commitments.
