A new initiative backed by Bloomberg Philanthropies is set to receive $100 million to enhance satellite monitoring of methane emissions and aid countries in developing policies to reduce this potent greenhouse gas's release. Announced at a global summit in Brazil, the effort aims to address rising concerns over methane, which has significantly greater heat-trapping capabilities than carbon dioxide. The funding will expand global systems for alerting companies and regulators to large methane leaks, promoting greater accountability and response.
