Bill > S4185

This bill authorizes appropriations of $4 billion per year for fiscal years 2025 and 2026 to contribute to the Green Climate Fund (GCF), which is an international fund established to help developing countries limit or reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to climate change. The bill outlines the U.S. policy for providing this climate financing, which includes upholding principles of environmental and climate justice, supporting recipient countries' and communities' programs, ensuring the free, prior, and informed consent of indigenous peoples, promoting gender equality, and addressing mitigation, adaptation, and loss and damage. The bill also provides definitions for key terms, such as "climate financing" and "Paris Agreement."
