Bill Summary
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION Expressing the sense of Congress that there is a climate emergency which demands a massive-scale mobilization to halt, reverse, and address its consequences and causes.
AI Summary
This Concurrent Resolution expresses the sense of Congress that climate change, driven by human activities that increase greenhouse gas emissions, represents a severe and urgent climate emergency impacting the United States' economic well-being, social stability, health, safety, and national security. It calls for the President to utilize both existing presidential powers and emergency authorities to initiate a massive national mobilization of resources and labor to address and prepare for the consequences of this emergency for present and future generations. It's important to note that this resolution itself does not constitute a formal declaration of a national emergency that would trigger special powers under other laws.
