"Investigating methane emissions from waste sites and reporting on the practical solutions can be done worldwide. Plus, improving how waste is handled benefits the health of those living near disposal sites.
"How waste is managed is not only a major climate change story, but also an important local story.
"Learning about methane emissions is now easier because of the availability of satellite and remote sensing data. However, ground-level reporting is essential.
"Solutions exist. There are practical and economical ways to reduce methane emissions from solid waste. Investigative reporting can explore whether viable solutions are being pursued, and if not, why."
This Global Investigative Journalism Network guide, published July 30, 2025, lists available resources and questions to ask about methane emissions from landfills and how to reduce them.
Main topics:
