Description (excerpt):
According to several independent studies and analyses, a large gap exists in the U.S. climate pledge to the United Nations. Simply put, the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reductions flowing from specific policies and measures listed in the U.S. pledge fall far short of the President’s 2025 target of a 26 to 28 percent reduction, compared to 2005. What gives this conclusion greater credibility is that the work was independently conducted by a number of environmental advocacy groups as well as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.
