Bill > SCRes18

This concurrent resolution recognizes a health and safety emergency affecting children's fundamental rights, specifically focusing on the Trump administration's environmental policies. The resolution argues that the administration's directives to expand fossil fuel production and suppress climate change science are harmful to children's health and constitutional rights. It highlights the increasing carbon dioxide levels, accelerating temperature rises, and the disproportionate impact of climate change on children, particularly those from vulnerable communities. The resolution calls on U.S. leadership to address the climate emergency by opposing Executive orders that increase greenhouse gas emissions, block renewable energy transitions, and chill climate science discourse. It demands that the government restore the Environmental Protection Agency's core mission, republish climate science data, and create an governing approach that protects children's rights to life, liberty, and a stable climate system. The resolution specifically urges the government to reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide to less than 350 parts per million by 2100 and to consider the long-term impacts of energy and climate policies on children's current and future well-being.
