As the world’s government, business, and civil society leaders came together at Climate Week NYC, Alliance executive committee members New York Governor Kathy Hochul and Delaware Governor Matt Meyer gathered with leading state officials from across the coalition to report on the state of climate action across America and announce major progress.

 

Together, they released new data showing the Alliance’s members have collectively reduced net greenhouse gas emissions 24 percent below 2005 levels, while increasing their collective GDP by 34 percent. The figures, updated to reflect progress in 2023, continue the coalition’s trend of declining emissions over the last 18 years and put its near-term target of reducing net emissions 26 percent by 2025 within reach.

Compared to the rest of the country, Alliance members are continuing to reduce emissions faster, employ more clean energy workers, achieve lower levels of harmful air pollutants, and execute more pre-disaster planning.  

Today at #ClimateWeekNYC, we announced a major leap toward meeting our collective climate pollution reduction target. What we’re doing is working – and we’ll keep pressing forward. ➡️ usclimatealliance.org/press-releas...
