In its bottom-up climate action plan, the America’s Pledge initiative models the emissions impact of a specific set of strategies for sectoral transformation in electricity, buildings, transportation, HFCs, methane, natural lands, and economy-wide carbon pricing. Central to this are 10 high-impact opportunities for near-term, nonfederal emissions reduction opportunities. These are areas where intensified engagement by states, cities or businesses can significantly contribute to the overall U.S. decarbonization pathway over the coming years.
Electricity
Double down on renewable energy targets
Accelerate the retirement of coal power
Natural Lands
Regional strategies for carbon sequestration in natural and working lands
Transportation
Accelerate electric vehicle adoption
Economy-wide Carbon Pricing
State coalition for carbon pricing
Hydrofluorocarbons (HFC)
Phase out super-polluting HFCs
