- The United Nations launched a global Call to Action on Methane and an AI Environmental Transparency Initiative during London Climate Action Week on 23 June 2026.
- The initiative aims to reduce methane emissions, a greenhouse gas that is about 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide in the short term.
- The oil and gas sector is identified as a major source of methane emissions through leaks, venting, and flaring.
- The UN called for near-zero methane emissions and wider use of existing technologies to reduce emissions by up to 70%.
- The AI initiative seeks mandatory disclosure of carbon, water, and land footprints of major AI companies and data centres.
- The UN urged AI firms to power data centres fully with renewable energy by 2030 to reduce environmental impact.
