Why: We’ll slow the pace of climate change if we cut carbon dioxide and potent short-acting gases like methane.
How: We’re targeting key states to pass methane standards, and making the case for fixing methane leaks across the natural gas supply chain.

Boost efforts to help China effectively slash pollution »
Why: China is now the world’s top emitter of climate pollution.
How: We’re working directly with China’s government to help the nation launch market-based solutions to trim emissions, while leveraging our business networks to lower pollution in China’s vast manufacturing sector.
