U.S. President Joe Biden has promised to reduce America’s greenhouse gas emissions 50% to 52% by 2030.

The new target more than doubles the country’s previous commitment under the 2015 Paris Climate Accord to cut emissions 26% to 28% below 2005 levels by 2025. The U.S. is not yet halfway to meeting that goal.

Biden’s pledge is in line with what environmental groups and hundreds of executives at major companies have pushed for. The U.S. president plans to announce the target at the global leaders’ climate summit, during which he hopes to urge global cooperation to address the climate crisis.
