GIJN offers an update to its 2022 reporting guide on investigating methane emissions, with new sources and global projects to help track the greenhouse gas via satellites.
Thanks to new technologies, the direct sources of methane emissions — particularly natural gas and oil production — now can be exposed, a difficult but crucial first step in holding emitters accountable. At the moment, these techniques are not easily accessible to journalists, but collaborative possibilities exist.
Reducing methane emissions is the single fastest way to fight climate change, according to climate scientists. This GIJN guide is designed to help investigative reporters identify specific sources of methane and hold companies and countries accountable.
This edition of the GIJN Toolbox explores global databases and remote sensing resources that reporters can use to investigate local environmental threats.
In this GIJN webinar, we bring together two senior reporters and two experts who will offer tools and techniques to identify specific methane emitters, find the data, and look closely at measurement systems. They will also present tips and resources to research what companies and governments are doing to reduce methane emissions.
