Welcome to the 2025 Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC) Ministerial, which targets accelerated action on super pollutants.

In the wake of COP 30, such action is more important than over. Despite many new Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), global temperatures are predicted to rise 2.3-2.5°C above pre-industrial levels. The multi-decadal average will exceed 1.5°C, very likely within the next decade.

The world must minimize this overshoot or face escalating climate impacts. This cannot be done without rapid cuts to methane and other super pollutants. The Global Methane Status Report tells us that projected 2030 methane emissions are lower than earlier forecasts. This is progress. But emissions are still on the rise. Only full-scale implementation of all proven and available control measures will deliver the Global Methane Pledge’s target of a 30 per cent cut in methane emissions by 2030 – and with it a 0.3° C reduction in predicted temperatures by mid-century.
