METHANE
SCIENCE ACCORD

Please consider becoming part of the Methane Science Accord, even if you're already with one of our supporting groups. We’re looking for determined folks like you!
This isn’t corporate greenwashing or tech quick fixes—it’s about creating policy that reflects latest methane science + accurate measurements, that supports working with nature: pastural farming that builds soil, cuts emissions - through supporting natural processes and restores biodiversity.
As farmers and scientists, we reject profiteers spreading false hope. The science is clear: real, radical change is needed, rooted in care, latest science and independent thought.

Join us to cut through the noise, spread knowledge, and reclaim our role as earth’s caretakers. The planet shakes; it’s time for resilient solutions.
When you join, you’ll get regular updates on our efforts and chances to roll up your sleeves and take meaningful action. Pass this along to your friends, neighbours and kin—let’s build a community that truly moves the needle, together.
