TLDR: He has accomplished more than any previous president, but there is still a lot more to do. Take a look and let me know if you agree with my assessment or if I have missed any major priorities. https://lnkd.in/gK4pCGdC

To date, over 90 countries have communicated such “net-zero targets,” including the world’s largest emitters - China, the United States and India. On top of that, hundreds more regions, cities and companies have set targets of their own. The term #NetZero gets thrown around a lot these days—but what is it, and how can we get there?
