UNEP's "An Eye on Methane 2025" Report shows us how methane super-emitters are being mapped in real time. At PSE Healthy Energy, our #MethaneRiskMap builds on this by overlaying methane emissions with air-quality and health-risk modeling, helping turn raw data into actionable
🟢 NOW LIVE: An Eye on Methane 2025 finds transparency is delivering progress on #methane — but action must accelerate. Methane drives nearly one-third of today’s global warming, and cutting it is the fastest, most cost-effective way to slow climate change as we decarbonize. 🧵

10 years after the Aliso Canyon disaster, new tools make methane leaks visible— but transparency is still key. PSE’s Dr. @sethshonkoff told the @latimes, that if we’d had gas composition data, we could’ve known within hours how to protect people. 🔗
