The workshop was organized into two sections.

The Methane Roadmap Action Workshop (11-12 June): Participants shared updates and best practices, learned about the CCAC M-RAP methodology and SLCP NDC guidelines and opportunities, and explored the support available to countries from CCAC.

Aligning air pollutant and GHG emission inventories development (12-13 June): The significance and challenges of emission inventories were explored during the sessions, with real-world examples and discussions on the reporting obligations under the UNFCCC and the Air Convention providing more context.
