How can the United States implement an ambitious 2035 climate target?
New preliminary analysis from CGS demonstrates how an all-of-society strategy can deliver an ambitious U.S. national climate target.
Implementing current policies and additional enhanced action across all of society can deliver 60-70% emissions reductions by 2035 from 2005 levels
These findings summarize the initial results from integrated assessment modeling of detailed policies that drive outcomes at all levels. You can find more details on the modeling approach, assumptions, and results in the preprint.
As we approach the next cycle of target setting under the Paris Agreement, countries will be updating and submitting new climate targets for 2035 (aka, Nationally Determined Contributions or NDCs) over the next year—meaning the United States will need to set a new national climate target. Leveraging a globally recognized integrated assessment model, a new preliminary analysis from America Is All In and the Center for Global Sustainability shows that with comprehensive, high-ambition climate action across all sectors and at every level the U.S. has the potential to set and achieve a new NDC target of 60-70% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2035.
We want to hear from you! To ensure this target reflects an "all-in" approach, combining bottom-up initiatives with top-down federal interventions, All In seeks input from coalition members and the public to inform modeling assumptions, key policies, and implementation barriers and opportunities. Please provide your feedback on the key policies modeled in this form.
