New Jersey Global Warming Response Act 80 x 50 Report – NJ Department of Environmental Protection
“Recognizing the need for coordinated action in the public and private sectors, the New Jersey Global Warming Response Act (P.L. 2007 c.112; P.L. 2018 c.197) (GWRA) directed the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), in collaboration with other state agencies, to develop plans and make recommendations for reducing emissions of climate pollutants, represented throughout this report as carbon dioxide equivalent emissions or CO2e, to 80% below their 2006 levels by the year 2050 (known as the “80×50” goal). Building upon New Jersey’s 2019 Energy Master Plan (2019 EMP) and Governor Phil Murphy’s vision for 100% clean energy by 2050, this report analyzes New Jersey’s emissions reductions to date, evaluates plans presently in place for further reducing emissions, and presents a set of strategies across seven emission sectors for policymakers to consider in formulating legislation, regulations, policy and programs to ensure that New Jersey achieves the 80×50 goal.”
