Methane is one of the most powerful drivers of climate change, responsible for nearly a third of the warming we’ve already experienced. Cutting methane now offers one of the fastest ways to slow near-term warming and protect a 1.5°C future. In this episode of Financing the Future, host Gabriel Carhart is joined by Climate Bonds experts Magali Van Coppenolle, Lily Burge, Ana Diaz, Leonardo Gava, and Marian Rodriguez to unpack why methane matters, where it comes from, and what can be done now to cut emissions at scale. Together, they explore the three biggest sources of human-made methane (energy, agriculture, and waste) and the practical, market-ready solutions that already exist to address them.The conversation looks at oil and gas leaks and flaring, livestock and rice cultivation, landfill gas capture, and the major finance gap holding back action. It also covers the Global Methane Pledge and the growing role of credible standards and guidance in unlocking investment. This is the first episode in a special series on methane abatement. In the weeks ahead, we’ll dive deeper into each sector and explore how investors, policymakers, and industry can work together to deliver immediate climate impact and long-term sustainability.
