WASHINGTON- Today, President Biden unveiled a revised Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC), committing the United States to a 50-52% reduction below 2005 levels by 2030. Earlier this month, environmental, environmental justice, and international development groups released the “Fair Shares Nationally Determined Contribution” (“Fair Shares NDC”) for the U.S., laying out the measures the United States should commit to carrying out to do its “fair share” of the global effort to limit global temperature rise to 1.5°C, based on its status as the world’s wealthiest country and largest historical carbon polluter.

WASHINGTON – President Joseph Biden is expected to take the United States back into the Paris Agreement on Day One of his presidency. Friends of Earth International, U.S., and Malaysia, as well as Third World Network, released the following statements in response:
Karen Orenstein, Climate and Energy Program Director at Friends of the Earth U.S., said:
“Rejoining the Paris Agreement was the easy part. The Biden Administration must now put together a carbon reduction plan premised on the United States doing its
fair share of the global effort to keep temperature rise to 1.5°C and provide climate finance for developing countries in line with what science, equity, and justice demand. President Biden must approach the climate crisis internationally with the same promise of environmental justice pledged at home.”
