Climate Curve Prize: Methane – New Remote Analyst Roles Open for 2026

The global race to curb methane emissions—a greenhouse gas over 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide over a 20-year period—is entering a critical new phase.

The prize will award $25,000 each to eight outstanding solutions that demonstrate the highest potential for reducing methane emissions within global food and waste systems.

As methane accounts for nearly 30% of global warming since the Industrial Revolution, focusing on these specific sectors is vital for meeting international climate targets.
