Cutting methane emissions is the fastest way to tackle climate change in the short-term, as it remains in the atmosphere for far fewer years than carbon dioxide. It is for this reason that many nations have joined a global pledge to cut 30 per cent off methane emissions by 2030. This second report of UNEP’s International Methane Emissions Observatory (IMEO) looks at the essential role the fossil
 fuel industry must play in taking immediate and strong action on methane to meet this goal. As a core implementing partner of the Global Methane Pledge, IMEO provides decision makers with a framework to take ambitious, targeted actions that can be tracked and

The report, co-authored by Rainforest Action Network, BankTrack, Indigenous Environmental Network, Oil Change International, Reclaim Finance, Sierra Club, and Urgewald, is the most comprehensive global analysis on fossil fuel banking to date. It reveals that the world’s B-biggest banks continued to pour billions into fossil fuel expansion in 2021. This underscores the stark disparity between public climate commitments being made by the world’s largest banks, versus the reality of their largely business-as-usual financing to the fossil fuel industry.

The 2022 report of the Lancet Countdown is published as the world confronts profound and concurrent systemic shocks. Countries and health systems continue to contend with the health, social, and economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, while Russia's invasion of Ukraine and a persistent fossil fuel overdependence has pushed the world into global energy and cost-of-living crises. As these crises unfold, climate change escalates unabated. Its worsening impacts are increasingly affecting the foundations of human health and wellbeing, exacerbating the vulnerability of the world's populations to concurrent health threats.
