Since signing the Under2 Coalition's Memorandum of Understanding during the 2023 Climate Week NYC Opening Ceremonies, Maryland has demonstrated strong subnational climate leadership.
At last year's Under2 Coalition General Assembly at COP29 in Azerbaijan, Maryland furthered this commitment by joining the Subnational Methane Action Coalition (SMAC), a global alliance of subnational governments dedicated to reducing methane emissions and advancing climate action.
