Grassroots Engagment

Going beyond the boardroom, working directly with communities to create awareness, build capacity, and cultivate local champions for methane emissions reduction

We Are Boots on the Ground

  • Communities often live closest to oil and gas operations and feel the direct impacts of methane emissions on health, livelihoods, and the environment.

  • Local voices are essential in shaping practical, context-specific solutions that balance economic development with environmental sustainability.

  • Empowered communities become powerful advocates for accountability, cleaner air, and safer energy practices

Community Led Monitoring & Feedback

  • Facilitate community involvement in data collection to enhance accountability.

  • Share feedback loops so communities see how their input drives change.

Clear Parameters to Measure Success

  • Number of communities reached through campaigns.

  • Uptake of methane awareness in schools and local groups.

  • Engagement of women, youth, and marginalized groups in methane advocacy.

  • Evidence of community-led reporting influencing industry and policy.
