Earth Day 2022

We have made the bold commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the United States by 50 to 52 percent by 2030, reach 100 percent carbon pollution-free ...

Let us stand united in this effort to save our planet and, in the process, strengthen our economy and grow more connected to each other and the world we share. On my first day in office, I fulfilled my promise to rejoin our Nation to the Paris Agreement to tackle the climate crisis at home and abroad. As my Administration implements this agenda, we are following through on our commitment to ensuring that our investments advance equity and justice and reach communities across the country — including rural communities, communities of color, and low-income communities. The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to build on these actions and accelerate our Nation’s ability to confront the environmental and climate challenges we face. To work toward these goals, we have taken action across every sector of the economy, including setting the strongest-ever standards for greenhouse gas emissions from passenger vehicles, tackling super-pollutants like methane and hydrofluorocarbons, investing billions in the deployment of clean technologies, and launching the American offshore wind industry. The climate crisis is upending lives across the country and around the world.

Customers want to understand the climate impacts of the products they buy and make purchases that help them live lower carbon lives.

What we need is a transformation of our economy to one that is more sustainable and just. This year, Earth Day comes on the heels of 2 dire reports from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the world’s leading climate scientists.
