A coalition of non-profits calls on the European Commission to maintain leadership of the Global Methane Pledge (GMP) amid uncertainty regarding U.S. commitment. The letter advocates for the EU to implement its Methane Regulation, transition away from industrial animal agriculture, include a methane target in its NDC, and mobilise public grants for developing countries, noting that 111 of the 159 GMP signatories are official development assistance recipients.

• The Global Methane Pledge (GMP) is at a critical juncture where progress is hindered by a lack of widespread regulatory adoption and insufficient financial support for developing nations, with the agriculture sector specifically noted as lacking meaningful action.
• The coalition recommends several domestic EU actions: implementing the Methane Regulation in the energy sector, transitioning the food system away from industrial animal agriculture, improving waste separation, and including a specific methane mitigation target in the EU's Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC).
• Internationally, the EU is urged to lead the mobilisation of public finance, specifically grants, for developing countries, as 111 of the 159 GMP signatories are recipients of official development assistance (ODA).
