As the world watches the 1.5°C goal drift beyond reach, the need for solutions that can rapidly curb rising temperatures is acute. One of the most powerful levers we have is also one of the most overlooked: methane.
Methane traps far more heat than CO₂, but it doesn’t linger nearly as long. That means slashing methane emissions can deliver a rapid cooling effect—buying precious time to strengthen resilience and fully decarbonize the global economy. For companies and investors seeking to make a measurable, near-term impact, methane reductions are among the most effective actions available today.
However, to unlock this potential, credible methodologies and high-integrity standards are essential. Robust measurement, verification, and certification systems ensure that every tonne of methane reduced translates into real, additional, and verifiable climate impact.
Join us for a conversation on how collaboration between standard-setters, project developers, investors, and policymakers can accelerate methane mitigation worldwide: what’s being done to scale credible action, how integrity frameworks fit into corporate sustainability and investment strategies, and why a global agreement on methane, underpinned by trusted methodologies, is essential to keeping climate hopes alive.

Access to reliable information is a prerequisite for democracy. But currently, both democracy and science are under attack. In 2024 alone, 45 countries experienced democratic backsliding. This decline is reflected not only in restrictions on media freedom and the harassment of journalists, but also in citizens’ shrinking ability to discuss politics openly in the public sphere.
Simultaneously, science and scientists around the world are facing growing threats. Ideological agendas are undermining research, academic freedom, and funding. Misinformation and attacks on scientists are spreading on platforms intended for open debate.
Join us as we discuss these threats — and how to reverse the trend — with journalists, scientists, politicians, and members of civil society from around the world.

As the world watches the 1.5°C goal drift beyond reach, the need for solutions that can rapidly curb rising temperatures is acute. One of the most powerful levers we have is also one of the most overlooked: methane.
Methane traps far more heat than CO₂, but it doesn’t linger nearly as long. That means slashing methane emissions can deliver a rapid cooling effect—buying precious time to strengthen resilience and fully decarbonize the global economy. For companies and investors seeking to make a measurable, near-term impact, methane reductions are among the most effective actions available today.
However, to unlock this potential, credible methodologies and high-integrity standards are essential. Robust measurement, verification, and certification systems ensure that every tonne of methane reduced translates into real, additional, and verifiable climate impact.
Join us for a conversation on how collaboration between standard-setters, project developers, investors, and policymakers can accelerate methane mitigation worldwide: what’s being done to scale credible action, how integrity frameworks fit into corporate sustainability and investment strategies, and why a global agreement on methane, underpinned by trusted methodologies, is essential to keeping climate hopes alive.

The screening then begins — taking viewers on a journey across Belgium and France, guided by Sandrine’s personal reflections. From the WWII resistance trails to the home of Jean Monnet, the film series weaves together historical memory, present-day street voices, and political insight to reimagine Europe’s future.
Featured in the documentary series:
This is not just a film series — it is an invitation.
To reclaim Europe’s purpose. To stand on common ground. To lead with empathy.
Join us for daily Science Briefings at COP30, where we bring the latest climate science directly to negotiators, world leaders, media, and the public every day. Just as governments shared daily updates during the COVID-19 pandemic, we want to keep everyone informed about the climate crisis in real time. Listen to scientists and trusted leaders as they deliver regular, fact-based updates on the state of our planet and the frontlines of science: what’s going wrong, what’s driving progress, and what the world urgently needs to know.
Learn more about our global campaign to defend researchers and their institutions under attack, engage world leaders in science-based dialogues, and reinstate science at the heart of global decision-making.
Join our Make Science Great Again campaign and learn how you can support.
Access to reliable information is a prerequisite for democracy. But currently, both democracy and science are under attack. In 2024 alone, 45 countries experienced democratic backsliding. This decline is reflected not only in restrictions on media freedom and the harassment of journalists, but also in citizens’ shrinking ability to discuss politics openly in the public sphere.
Simultaneously, science and scientists around the world are facing growing threats. Ideological agendas are undermining research, academic freedom, and funding. Misinformation and attacks on scientists are spreading on platforms intended for open debate.
Join us as we discuss these threats — and how to reverse the trend — with journalists, scientists, politicians, and members of civil society from around the world.
