Hosted by the Chungnam Province, the International Conference on Decarbonisation is a striking example of how subnational governments are driving the climate agenda forward by taking action to address climate challenges in their regions and beyond.
One of the focuses this year was methane. The conference included a signing ceremony to celebrate Chungnam joining the Subnational Methane Action Coalition (SMAC). Methane is a particularly good example of the need for concerted multi-level action to address the huge variety of methane emissions sources.
UC Berkeley CLEE’s Ken Alex (Director, Project Climate) and Shivani Shukla (Research Fellow, Project Climate) presented on SMAC and the Coalition’s examples of subnational leadership on methane.
