Limiting Emergency Declarations Based on Climate Change
This act restricts the President's ability to declare national emergencies, major disasters, or public health emergencies solely based on climate change. This means future federal resource mobilization in response to climate-related events will require a legal basis other than climate threat itself.
Key points
The President cannot declare a national emergency based solely on climate change.
Major disasters or public health emergencies cannot be declared if climate change is the only premise.
