The Global Methane Initiative (GMI) Policymaker Framework for Addressing Methane Emissions (the Framework), is designed to help energy and environmental policymakers address methane emissions systematically to accelerate progress toward national or subnational methane emissions reduction goals. The Framework depicts a step-by-step process for developing and implementing policies and programs to measure and reduce methane emissions economy-wide or in specific methane-emitting sectors, such as oil and gas, coal, and biogas. It provides links to helpful resources from GMI and other organizations that can help policymakers implement each step.
The Framework is intended for national policymakers and governmental ministries responsible for establishing national- or subnational-level environmental, climate, energy, or economic development policy.
