Delegates at a climate summit announced new pledges aimed at cutting methane emissions and accelerating clean power deployment. Negotiators said methane reductions offer some of the fastest near-term climate benefits.

Talks also focused on funding and verification, with several countries pushing for standardized reporting and clearer enforcement. Industry groups said predictable rules would help unlock investment in monitoring, maintenance, and new infrastructure.

Observers noted that ambitious targets can only translate into real reductions if projects are financed and timelines are tracked transparently.
