This year, we’ve seen it all: unprecedented firestorms and wildfire smoke, extreme heat and drought, severe wind and hail, and catastrophic flooding. No state, no community has been spared. The climate crisis is here – and this is America’s all-hands-on-deck moment.
At COP28, top state officials from across the U.S. Climate Alliance highlighted how our climate action coalition is answering the call by releasing new data on the progress its states and territories are making toward near- and long-term emission reduction targets and the health, economic, and environmental benefits of this action.
Our 2023 Annual Report, All Hands on Deck: Securing America’s Net-Zero Future with State-Led, High-Impact Action, includes new analysis showing that our 25 member states and territories — representing approximately 60% of the U.S. economy and 55% of the U.S. population — are now projected to reduce collective greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions 26% by 2025 below 2005 levels and achieve their near-term climate target.
Additional key findings include:
The Report also details how Alliance members are working together to advance a series of bold, high-impact actions across 10 key policy areas — GHG targets and governance; buildings; climate finance; electricity generation; industry; just transition and equity; natural and working lands; pricing carbon and valuing damages; resilience; and transportation.
