Abstract | The United States (US) - the second largest greenhouse gases(GHGs)emitter in the world – has recently pledged a reduction of net GHGs emissions by 26–28% below its 2005 level by 2025. How big is the challenge for the country to achieve this target in terms of its present emissions profile, recent historical trends and the contributions to those trends from key proximate factors contributing to emissions? In this paper we make quantitative judgement of the challenge by using decomposition analysis. Based on |
