Do cities with a climate plan reduce emissions more than those without one?

This graph compares emissions reductions for the US as a whole* with our own sample of cities that have an active climate plan in place. Cities with a CAP outperform the US baseline, but neither group is on track to actually reduce emissions on time by 2050.

Each bar represents the average rate of emissions reductions.

*We look at overall emissions for the United States because we don't know the counterfactual (i.e., what emissions look like for cities without GHG inventories).
