Editor's Notes
- USA is rated critically insufficient based on its intent to withdraw from the Paris Agreement NDC would be Insufficient Significant changes to climate policy at the federal level over the past year March – executive order -> Rescinded the Climate Action Plan, which was never fully implemented and would have been necessary to achieve the NDC (additional measures to reduce methane emissions from oil and gas production and to increase energy efficiency and reduce energy use) October – EPA has proposed a repeal of the CPP, which was in any case frozen in the courts Possibly one or two more examples Leaves us with the current projections, which would see emissions level off and only be 7% under 2005 levels in 2025. This is rated highly insufficient Additionally, mid-century strategy has been removed from government websites Still plenty of uncertainty on the projections – many things could change based on action or non-action at both the federal and non-federal levels – for example Kigali Amendment? New analysis suggests that initial pledges by non-state actors could take the US halfway to meeting the NDC
