Summary

The LOW-Methane Initiative aims to achieve a dramatic scale-up of global action to reduce methane emissions from the waste sector. The initiative intends to deliver at least 1 million metric tons of annual waste sector methane reductions before 2030 and establish effective partnerships with subnational and national governments to secure more than $10 billion in public and private investment. Additionally, technical assistance will be provided while scaling up best practices through concurrent Action Labs focusing on data, finance, technology, and policy.
