The Biden Administration made a formal submission of the United States’ 2035 Climate Target to the United Nations Climate Change secretariat as its nationally determined contribution (NDC) under the Paris Agreement.  The NDC sets “an economy-wide target of reducing its net greenhouse gas emissions by 61-66 percent below 2005 levels in 2035” emphasizing the importance of “the actions of subnational and Tribal governments” in “achieving the 2035 emissions target.”
