Yes, but most of the progress so far comes from cleaner electricity across our grid, not from changes in how we travel, build, or produce goods. We will need to continue to decarbonize, or reduce the emissions of climate pollution from our economy.
Our current progress is not enough. If the region keeps going as it is now, without new policies or investments, climate pollution will stop decreasing and level off. Most of the remaining pollution comes from how buildings are heated, how people travel, and move around, and how industry produces goods, and these systems do not change quickly on their own.
