President Joe Biden speaks during the virtual Leaders Summit on Climate in the White House.
The U.S. is setting an ambitious goal for reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, President Joe Biden said Thursday at the beginning of a two-day climate summit of world leaders. The new target aims for reducing emissions by at least 50% from 2005 levels.
A White House fact sheet on the new target said that the Biden Administration analyzed how every sector of the economy can spur innovation, unleash new opportunities, drive competitiveness, and cut pollution. In addition to reducing emissions, the plan is aimed at creating good-paying jobs and making the U.S. a leader in clean energy technologies, the White House said.
