Frontier25 Partners with Global Methane Hub to Assess Impact of Methane Emissions on Air Quality and Public Health

ADM NEWS | Frontier25 partners with Global Methane Hub to assess impact of methane emissions on air quality and public health Frontier25 has announced the start of a new project in partnership with the Global Methane Hub to assess the impact of methane across the energy and waste sectors, among others, and examine its implications for air quality and public health.

Methane is a significant greenhouse gas and air pollutant responsible for more than 45 per cent of recent global warming and over 80 times more powerful than CO₂ over a 20-year period. More than a third of the world’s methane pollution comes from fossil fuels.

According to the United Nations Environment Programme, rapid action can avoid nearly 0.3°C of global warming by the 2040s and deliver clear benefits for air quality and public health, potentially preventing up to a million premature deaths annually from ozone pollution.

Olivia Azadegan, Senior Manager of the Energy Programme at the Global Methane Hub, said: “The climate crisis demands an immediate reduction in super-pollutants, and curbing methane emissions is the fastest way to drive down global temperatures.

We are pleased to progress work on methane, specifically focusing on improving public health and air quality in the Middle East with Frontier25. We believe on-the-ground efforts are critical to building stronger, healthier, and more resilient communities worldwide.” The collaborative project hosted a Frontier25-led Policy Hack on 20 November in Abu Dhabi, which will be followed by a series of targeted knowledge sharing sessions across the UAE and the broader GCC.

Full findings, including policy recommendations, impacts, and ongoing goals, will be published by Q2 2026.
