This event will showcase the first public release of data from UNEP’s Methane Alert and Response System (MARS) and unpack how advanced remote sensing is providing the transparency needed for governments, companies and civil society to deliver methane progress and achieve the goals of the Global Methane Pledge. The event will also launch the 2023 edition of International Methane Emissions Observatory Annual Report, which provides an analysis of the methane emissions data submitted by companies under the OGMP 2.0 assessing the progress made to reduce methane emissions.
