Bill > S1201

This bill seeks to restore the United States' international leadership on climate change and clean energy. Key provisions include: - Establishing a program to provide bilateral and regional assistance to developing countries to support clean energy deployment, climate change adaptation, and sustainable land use practices. This includes building capacity for emissions measurement, monitoring, and inventories, as well as promoting sustainable transportation systems and natural climate solutions. - Authorizing increased U.S. contributions to the Green Climate Fund to support clean energy and climate adaptation projects in developing countries. - Enhancing the role of the Department of State in energy diplomacy and integrating climate considerations across U.S. foreign policy and development finance activities. - Directing the U.S. to reengage with international forums like the G7 and G20 to advance global climate cooperation and accountability. - Establishing a Federal Interagency Working Group to coordinate U.S. efforts to prevent and respond to the disproportionate effects of climate change on women globally. The overall aim is to reassert U.S. leadership on climate action and ensure foreign policy, development finance, and diplomatic initiatives are leveraged to drive global greenhouse gas emissions reductions and support climate resilience, particularly in vulnerable developing countries.
