Small wetlands remain underappreciated emission sources in the global methane budget. Using 30-m remote sensing data, we identify 160 million small wetlands (0.001–1 km²) in non-forested regions worldwide, contributing 24.1% of their total wetland methane emissions. Notably, methane emissions from small wetlands increased significantly (+9.9%) over 2003-2022, and very small (
