LUNCH & LEARN • VIRTUAL

Methane is a powerful but invisible planet-heating gas that accounts for about one-third of Earth’s warming to date. By cutting methane emissions now, humans can rapidly reduce the rate of global warming, buying time as we lower carbon emissions in the long term. While there are many readily available—and highly profitable—ways to tackle these emissions, finding methane in the first place can be a serious challenge.
Our June Lunch & Learn will bring together Deanna Haines, Jorn Dinh Herner, and Francesca Hopkins, three leading methane detection experts who work to see the unseen. They will share lessons and outline how cutting methane can bring about a more stable climate and livable future.
Panelists:
- Deanna Haines, Senior Director, Honeywell
- Jorn Dinh Herner, Administration & Emissions, Mitigation Branch Chief, California Air Resources Board
- Francesca Hopkins, Assistant Professor of Climate Change & Sustainability, University of California, Riverside
Moderator:
- Gil Damon, Research Fellow, Project Climate, Center for Law, Energy, & the Environment
