Cut Methane Pollution – Protect Our Kids, Health, and Climate
Methane is a super-pollutant driving hotter, drier conditions worldwide – fueling floods, heatwaves, droughts, and wildfires. We are all experiencing the devastating impacts.
In Canada, most methane emissions come from oil and gas operations – venting, flaring, and leaking in BC, Alberta, and Saskatchewan. But the damage reaches every province, territory, and corner of the globe.
What’s Needed
We need the federal government to pass bold methane regulations and get to near-zero emissions by 2035, matching BC’s leadership. This means preventing methane from ever entering our atmosphere – avoiding future disasters, creating good jobs, and showing our kids we care about their future.
The good news? Cutting methane is the low-hanging fruit of climate action. Solutions already exist, and companies are ready to scale them up right now.
