28-30 March 2016 | Washington, D.C.

The Global Methane Initiative (GMI) and the Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC) were pleased to welcome more than 500 attendees from 62 countries to Washington, DC for the Global Methane Forum and CCAC Working Group meetings. Methane experts and policy-makers from around the world gathered to discuss options for methane reduction and abatement activities.

This unique opportunity granted access to:

• High-level plenary sessions on cross-cutting issues such as project financing and policy.
• Technical sessions on biogas (agricultural sources, municipal solid waste, municipal wastewater systems), coal mines, and oil and natural gas systems.
• Joint GMI Subcommittee – CCAC Initiative level discussions on policy and projects.
• Opportunities for networking with methane experts in the public and private sectors from around the world.

During the 2016 Global Methane Forum, GMI Partners reaffirmed their commitment to the Initiative via the GMI Partners Communique, a consensus statement on GMI’s accomplishments over the last 10 years, as well as reasons to continue GMI’s autonomy for another 5 years.
