States & Provinces
Worldwide, states and provinces are leading the way on methane. These jurisdictions often have authority in all three major methane-producing sectors: agriculture, energy production, and waste management.
The organizations below provide support for states and provinces working to reduce methane emissions.
-

Subnational Methane Monitor
Use the Subnational Methane Monitor to explore the methane policy landscape, pilot mitigation projects, and emission trends in subnational jurisdictions worldwide.
-

SMAC Methane
The Subnational Methane Action Coalition (SMAC) brings together states and provinces to collaborate on methane emissions monitoring and policy development. This coalition is free to join, provides access to a range of experts, and helps governments gain global recognition for their methane efforts.
-

Technical Assistance from CCAC
The UNEP-convened Climate and Clean Air Coalition helps governments of all levels develop impactful and cost-effective methane solutions. Jurisdictions can benefit from methane-focused “hubs” for waste, agriculture, and fossil fuels.
-

The Under2 Coalition
With more than 170 member jurisdictions, the Under2 Coalition is the world’s largest collection of cities and states working toward net zero emissions. They work to help governments deploy methane solutions across sectors.
-

Global Methane Hub
The Global Methane Hub is the primary conduit for philanthropic methane funding worldwide. They aim to deliver $1 billion in methane funding by 2030, including through programs supporting governments at all levels.

A Policymaker’s Guide to Implementing Leak Detection and Repair for Methane Mitigation
A guide on the implementation and capabilities of Leak Detection and Repair (LDAR) for policymakers. Covers the impact of a LDAR program and core principles for using optical gas imaging, survey design, and compliance reporting
-

Blueprint for a Comprehensive Oil and Gas Methane Regulation
Issued as part of the CCAC’s Fossil Fuel Regulatory Programme (FFRP), this comprehensive blueprint for methane regulation examines a regulatory approach built on proactive mitigation requirements supported by strong and transparent measurement, reporting and verification (MRV) rules.
-

Methane Regulator-to-Regulator Network
The Methane Regulator-to-Regulator (MR2R) Network is a peer-to-peer platform created by the Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC) and the International Energy Agency (IEA) to help fossil fuel regulators share experience, develop best practices, and strengthen methane regulation through trusted collaboration.
