Washington, D.C.–(ENEWSPF)–March 7, 2013. The Center for American Progress today released a proposal for the Major Economies Forum to adopt a 40 percent zero-carbon electricity target by the year 2035. The forum includes the world’s 17 largest carbon emitters, who together account for 80 percent of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions. The CAP report, entitled “40×35: A Zero-Carbon Energy Target for the World’s Largest Economies,” illustrates that meeting this target is not only highly feasible but, if met, would reduce cumulative CO2 emissions reductions 6.4 gigatons by 2035.
