Bill > SCR58

This concurrent resolution condemns President Trump's decision to withdraw the United States from the Paris Climate Accord, an international agreement signed by 195 countries in 2016 that aims to limit global temperature increases by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The resolution highlights that this withdrawal contradicts New Jersey's own state law requiring participation in the Accord and the actions of other states in the United States Climate Alliance, a group representing a significant portion of the U.S. population and economy. It argues that the withdrawal will lead to greater environmental and economic damage, weaken the U.S.'s leadership in renewable energy, and harm its diplomatic standing, urging the President to rejoin the Accord to address the critical threat of rising global temperatures.
