House View on Paris Climate Agreement Status
The House of Representatives believes the Paris Agreement should not be effective in the U.S. until it's renegotiated for major emitters to reduce pollution and approved by the Senate. According to the House, implementing the agreement without these steps could harm the economy, leading to job losses and increased costs.
Key points
The Paris Agreement should not have legal effect in the U.S. without Senate consent.
The House wants the agreement renegotiated so major emitters (like China) have similar pollution reduction duties as the U.S.
Implementing the agreement without Senate consent could negatively impact the economy, such as through job losses and higher energy costs.
Executive emissions pledges made under the agreement are not binding without Senate consent.
Congress should not fund international climate funds related to the agreement.
