Halting US Funding for UN Climate and Ozone Pacts Until China's Status Changes.
This bill stops US federal funding for the Montreal Protocol and the UN Climate Change Convention (UNFCCC). Funding will only resume once China is officially reclassified as a developed country under these international agreements. While primarily a foreign policy measure, this action could impact global environmental protection efforts supported by the US.
Key points
Blocks US funds for the Montreal Protocol (ozone layer protection) until China is removed from the list of developing countries.
Blocks US funds for the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change until China is included in Annex I (developed countries).
The goal is to pressure international bodies to change China's classification from a developing nation to a developed nation in environmental treaties.
