emissions targets
Carbon reduction goals
Emissions targets are goals set by governments, organizations, or international bodies to limit the release of pollutants—particularly greenhouse gases—into the atmosphere.
These targets typically specify percentage reductions from a baseline year, to be achieved by a future date: The country committed to emissions targets of 50% reduction by 2030.
Meeting or missing emissions targets has become a central measure of climate policy success.
