					<description>For 15 years, SEI has worked with partners and nations to reduce emissions of methane, a highly potent, short-lived greenhouse gas. SEI’s work has shown that reducing methane offers one of the most cost-effective and fastest strategies to aid efforts to limit global temperature rise. SEI’s work both paved the way for the Global Methane Pledge and is helping advance its implementation.</description>
