2025 IEA Methane Tracker shows methane emissions still too high as public support for action grows
Today, the International Energy Agency released its 2025 Methane Tracker report analyzing global methane emissions from the energy sector in 2024. The findings make it clear that methane emissions remain stubbornly high – despite readily available means to act and growing public support to do so.
“The IEA’s latest data underscores how far we still have to go to rein in methane pollution from the energy sector,” said Jonathan Banks, Global Director, Methane Pollution Prevention at Clean Air Task Force. “The good news is that we know how to solve this problem. The challenge isn’t a lack of solutions, or even public will, it’s the pace of implementation. Now is the time to move from commitment to action.”
The new IEA report comes shortly after a new public opinion survey from the Global Methane Hub showing that public support for methane action is both strong and widespread, with 82% of people across 17 countries backing efforts to cut methane pollution.
Banks continued:
“This growing support reflects a broader global shift: methane is now firmly on the international climate agenda. From the Global Methane Pledge and binding EU regulations to increasing ambition in Latin America, Africa, and Asia, governments are beginning to respond. But the IEA’s findings make clear that progress remains too slow.”
