Paris Agreement Transparency and Accountability Act
This act aims to change the United States' approach to the Paris Climate Agreement. It requires Senate approval for future climate agreements and sets conditions for renegotiation, especially concerning other countries' emissions. This impacts US energy and economic policy, potentially affecting energy costs and jobs.
Key points
Requires Senate consent for ratification of the Paris Agreement or any new climate agreement, increasing Congressional oversight of foreign policy.
The U.S. should not re-enter the Paris Agreement until China and other major emitters reduce their greenhouse gas emissions at a comparable pace to the U.S.
Any future U.S. actions on climate goals must be preceded by a detailed report to Congress, analyzing impacts on the economy, jobs, and energy security.
The Paris Agreement cannot be used as a basis for legal claims in U.S. courts, protecting citizens and businesses from lawsuits based solely on this agreement.
