The election of Joe Biden as the next US president means more than 3/5 of global CO2 emissions will be under net-zero targets, as well as 3/4 of global GDP.
Net-zero targets will also cover:
73% of coal
58% of oil
49% of gas
...but just 34% of population.
Biden made tackling climate change a key plank of his campaign. He pledged to re-join the Paris Agreement, aim for net zero emissions by 2050 and invest in renewable energy.
