North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum announced a goal Wednesday to make the state carbon neutral by the end of the decade.
He challenged the state’s energy and agriculture industries to work toward the goal through innovation, a theme he has repeated frequently throughout his four years in office. Increasingly, states and businesses are pledging to go “carbon neutral” in an effort to address climate change.
