A Washington state grant program is helping 13 landfills slash methane emissions with technology that adjusts itself every few hours instead of once a month. Real results are already showing up in year one.
Senegal is taking bold action against climate change with a new national plan targeting methane and short-lived climate pollutants. The West African nation is strengthening its environmental ministry's capacity to identify pollution sources and develop solutions through 2027.
A New Zealand company has developed a pill that sits in a cow's stomach and cuts methane emissions by 75% for over three months. The breakthrough could help millions of pasture-raised cattle fight climate change without changing how they graze.
Nigeria just signed a major agreement with the International Energy Agency to reduce methane emissions and bring clean cooking gas to 5 million homes by 2030. The partnership marks a turning point for Africa's largest economy as it tackles pollution while expanding energy access.
Despite global tensions, countries worked together in 2025 to achieve major environmental victories that will improve health and boost economies. From stopping massive methane leaks to protecting ocean areas larger than New York state, international teamwork proved it still works.
The atmosphere temporarily lost its cleaning power after 2020, letting methane build up faster than ever recorded. Scientists now understand why, and that knowledge could help us tackle climate change smarter.
California is moving toward its first-ever rules requiring dairy farms to reduce methane pollution after years of voluntary programs fell short. The shift could cut millions of tons of greenhouse gases while protecting communities near large farms.
Scientists discovered that forgotten ditches and canals emit greenhouse gases comparable to an entire country's output, but simple management changes can slash those emissions by up to 40%. Farmers and landowners now have practical tools to turn these overlooked waterways into climate heroes.
Nigerian farmers are cutting pollution and boosting crops using new techniques that skip field burning and reduce methane. A successful pilot program is now ready to scale nationwide.
Scientists are using methane-eating microbes to transform one of the worst climate pollutants into useful products like biodegradable plastic and animal feed. These tiny bacteria already exist in nature and could help slow global warming while creating sustainable materials.
Scientists have discovered ways to grow rice in Sub-Saharan Africa that dramatically reduce methane emissions while still feeding growing populations. By combining specially bred rice varieties with smarter water management, farmers can fight climate change from their fields.
