*2005 figure is a rounded estimate calculated by 糖心破解版 using information provided by the source.聽
The 鈥淐ontinued Climate Leadership鈥 scenario maps policies that would achieve the U.S. NDC of 50-52 percent reduction in U.S. GHG emissions relative to 2005 by 2030 and net zero GHG emissions by 2050. The 鈥淧roject 2025鈥 scenario maps the climate and energy policies outlined in Project 2025 into the EPS.

Projected GHG emissions in the United States 2030-2050, by policy scenario
The United States is currently on track to cut its GHG emissions by ** percent from 2005 levels by 2030, to *** billion metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (GtCO鈧俥). Prior to the passage of聽 IRA, BIL, CHIPS, and major EPA rules, the U.S. was set to emit *** GtCO鈧俥 by the same year.
Meanwhile, in a scenario where the U.S. shows continued climate leadership, it is projected the world's second-largest GHG emitter would cut its emissions by ** percent by 2030 to **** GtCO鈧俥, and reach net zero by 2050. However, in a scenario where climate and energy policies outlined in Project 2025 are implemented, U.S. GHG emissions would increase above the trajectory under current policies to *** GtCO鈧俥. This would represent a difference of ** percentage points between the two policy scenarios. As of 2022, U.S. GHG emissions had been reduced by roughly ** percent, relative to 2005 levels.聽
