Bill > HRes347

This resolution recognizes the profound impact of climate change on vulnerable and disadvantaged communities worldwide, particularly focusing on the legacy of environmental justice advocate Cecil Corbin-Mark. The resolution highlights the existential threat of climate change, emphasizing how it disproportionately affects communities of color, indigenous peoples, and low-income populations through increased health risks, agricultural disruption, natural disasters, and resource scarcity. It acknowledges international frameworks like the Paris Agreement that emphasize climate justice and human rights, and cites alarming statistics such as 7 million premature deaths annually from air pollution-related diseases. The resolution calls on the United States government to take a leadership role in global climate action, urging expanded collaboration with international partners to prioritize climate adaptation for the most vulnerable communities. It emphasizes the need for inclusive stakeholder engagement, specific protections for marginalized communities, and immediate multilateral efforts to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The ultimate goal is to address the systemic inequities faced by communities most impacted by climate change while working towards comprehensive global environmental justice.
