Expressing the need for the Senate to provide advice and consent to ratification of the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity.

Sponsored By: Representative Stansbury, Melanie A. [D-NM-1]

Introduced

Summary

This resolution would urge the Senate to give advice and consent for the ratification of the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). It argues that U.S. membership would strengthen American influence in global biodiversity decisions as species loss accelerates and international rules shape economic and security interests.

Show full summary
  • Would push the United States from observer status toward having a stronger voice in CBD negotiations, addressing concerns that absence limits U.S. influence on global biodiversity rules.
  • Notes that under current U.S. law the country already meets CBD obligations and that federal agencies often design domestic plans to align with CBD initiatives, which could smooth implementation if the U.S. joined.
  • Frames ratification as relevant to national security and economic interests because CBD decisions and rules can affect trade, resources, and strategic priorities.
