Biden Sets Ambitious Climate Goals as Presidency Winds Down
In the closing days of his presidency, Joe Biden has announced an ambitious climate goal for the United States, aiming for a 61 to 66 percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2035 compared to 2005 levels. With less than a month before Donald Trump assumes office, Biden’s initiatives include a significant increase in offshore wind energy and a 35 percent reduction in methane emissions. While Biden believes these goals can create jobs and promote clean energy, challenges loom as Trump’s administration is expected to reverse many of Biden’s climate policies.
