Ozone pollution is rising. Across Europe, ozone pollution kills 75,000 Europeans and costs taxpayers 80 billion eur a year in health costs
🔎 Exposed: Europe’s forgotten pollutant is also key to the solution
This week, the #MethaneMatters Coalition illustrated the extent of #OzonePollution in Europe - pollution that ignores borders, harms human health, cuts crop yields, and weakens forest growth, undermining #ClimateResilience 🧵👇
🔴 Ozone pollution costs Europe 775,000 life-years and €80bn a year – yet methane, a main driver, is still ignored!
Our new #MethaneMatters study featured in today's @euobserver.com shows why EU action on methane is urgent and essential.

🍊 NYC made curbside composting citywide and mandatory, and California’s organics law is cutting landfill methane. Trash → soil is a real climate solution, not a buzzword.

On Day 1 of #COP30, we joined the LOW-M Initiative side event to amplify community-driven methane reduction solutions. From waste pickers to city leaders, we’re proving that #zerowaste can be scaled globally.

🔥 Sir David King’s latest warning hits hard: cutting CO₂ isn’t enough. Methane drives over a third of global warming—and it acts fast. The good news? We can curb it today with existing tech. What we need now is focus, fairness & political courage. 🌍💨

We have reached the first climate tipping point🚨
To prevent further tipping points we must do everything we can to rapidly reduce heating and “𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝘁”.

Heard about cap-and-trade, but don't really see how it fits into the bigger (methane) picture? 🌬️🖼️
On Wednesday, Dr Dominic Hogg will present his work on cap-and-trade during the #MethaneMatters conference. Join us to learn how the policy can help close the 🇪🇺 gap on landfill methane.

In their latest report Changing Markets Foundation have assessed 20 global companies — including Nestlé, Danone, Starbucks, Costa, and McCafé — on their #methane targets, action plans, and transparency🔍
The results❓Not good 👎

A graphic of Oscar the Grouch from Sesame Street pops out of his trash can with one arm raised, shouting “Scram, methane!” in a speech bubble in front of a city skyline background.
Methane is WA’s #2 greenhouse gas — and landfills are a major source. With $9.6M in new grants, @ecology.wa.gov is helping 13 landfills cut emissions and clean up our air. 💨🌍

The agri-food sector is the biggest #methane emitter in Europe🐄😷 and therefore essential to curbing global heating🌡️
That’s why we co-hosted an event where experts from across the food chain could come together to discuss why #MethaneMatters and what the EU can do about it 🧵👇
As a co-creator of the #GlobalMethanePledge, the EU has committed to reducing methane by 30% by 2030 - but with 54% of human-made EU methane emissions coming from agriculture, the sector must step up.

At #COP29, @MethaneData is calling fossil industry's #methane bluff. Over 1000 superemitters discovered with #MARS (methane alert and response system). Company response rate "less than 1%". Go figure. #CutMethane #MethaneMatters
#GMP-Ministeral at #COP29: Stefan Wenzel telling it like it is: Methane emissions rising. Industrial countries are resonsiple for own consumption. Recognizes #FF emissions of imports. If producers want access to EU market, they must clean up. Strongest statement by far. #MethaneMatters
Fossil industry in Oil & Gas Decarbonization Charter (#OGCD) "We aim to implement best practices to reduce the emissions intensity of the industry." Fossil industry when #MARS finds over 1000 methane plumes. "Who, us?" #COP29 #MethaneMatters @MethaneData methanedata.unep.org/map?sector=&...
