The Biden administration announced on Thursday it has formally submitted new goals as part of the United Nations as part of the Paris Agreement to cut emissions by up to 66% by 2035.

President Joe Biden is pledging to cut U.S. greenhouse gas emissions by more than 60% by 2035 as he fights to ensure his legacy on slowing global warming, even as President-elect Donald Trump vows to undo much of Biden's climate work when he takes office next month.

The Biden administration just announced an aggressive target for the US to cut its planet-warming pollution over the next decade – a goal that will all but assuredly be reversed by President-elect Donald Trump in his first days in office.

The outgoing administration upped U.S.climate ambitions, setting a new target to slash emissions more than 60% by 2035.

The Biden administration will announce an "ambitious" new climate goal Thursday morning that aims to reduce the country's greenhouse gas emissions by 61% to 66% by 2035.

The Biden administration set ambitious new goals to slash US greenhouse gas emissions under the Paris climate accord, urging states and local governments to stay on course regardless of President-elect Donald Trump’s plans to purposefully ignore climate change.
