Report
In our annually updated outlook for US greenhouse gas emissions under current federal and state policy, we find that the US is on track to reduce emissions 29-42% below 2005 levels by 2030, absent any additional new action.
Note
In light of passage of the Inflation Reduction Act as well as a host of other recent shifts in the US energy system, we assess whether the US's climate commitment under the Paris Agreement is achievable and what policies could help us get there
Note
The Inflation Reduction Act has kicked off a new phase of decarbonization in the US, but on its own it won't be enough to achieve the US's 2030 climate target. We provide a framework for priorities in the decade ahead.
