The USA's LTS sets out the target of achieving carbon neutrality no later than 2050. The strategy includes five key transformations:
1. Decarbonize electricity.
2. Electrify end uses and switch to other clean fuels.
3. Cut energy waste.
4. Reduce methane and other non-CO2 emissions.
5. Scale up CO2 removal.
Following the US withdrawal from the Paris Agreement (effective in January 2026), the Trump Administration has effectively abandoned the US’ long-term strategy (LTS) and net zero target.
