President Joe Biden is announcing Thursday morning that the United States will set an economy-wide greenhouse gas reduction target of 50-52% from 2005 levels by 2030. The announcement will take place at the virtual Leaders Climate Summit, a two-day global meeting of more than 40 world leaders that is hosted by the White House.
The new nationally determined contribution (NDC) will be the Biden administration's official submission to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), in keeping with the Paris Agreement, which Mr. Biden rejoined on the first day of his presidency.More Related News
