THE U.S. 2050 NET-ZERO GOAL
The United States has set a goal of net-zero
emissions by no later than 2050.
The goal includes all major GHGs (CO2
, CH4
, N2
O, HFCs, PFCs, SF6
, NF3
) and is economy-wide. The goal is on a net
basis, including both sources of emissions and removals. It does not include emissions from international aviation
or international shipping. At this time, the United States does not expect to use international market mechanisms
toward achievement of this net-zero goal. Progress toward the goal will be assessed and the U.S. LTS may be updated,
as appropriate.
