The Waste Methane Assessment Platform, or WasteMAP, was created by RMI and Clean Air Task Force, with funding from the Global Methane Hub, to highlight global waste methane emissions from landfills and dumpsites. Use it to explore mitigation opportunities and best practices to reduce solid waste methane emissions.

WasteMAP consolidates modeled and reported waste data and methane emissions data from Carbon Mapper, Climate TRACE, EDGAR, RMI, SRON, UNFCCC, UN-Habitat, and the World Bank. You can learn more on the [data and methodologies page](/data-and-methodology). 

Data & Methodology

RMI is an independent nonprofit, founded in 1982 as Rocky Mountain Institute, that transforms global energy systems through market-driven solutions to align with a 1.5°C future and secure a clean, prosperous, zero-carbon future for all.

Clean Air Task Force is a non-traditional, fact-based, environmental organization dedicated to pushing the technology and policy changes needed to achieve a zero-emissions, high-energy planet at an affordable cost.
