Recognizing a health and safety emergency disproportionately affecting the fundamental rights of children due to the Trump administration's directives that unleash fossil fuels and greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change, while suppressing climate change science.

Sponsored By: Representative Schakowsky, Janice D. [D-IL-9]

Introduced

Summary

Declares that children face a health and safety emergency tied to federal fossil fuel policies and rising greenhouse gases. The resolution would call on federal leaders to reverse actions that expand fossil fuel production, restore climate science, and protect children's ability to grow up in a stable climate.

Show full summary
  • Children and families: Would highlight increased health threats including heat illness, wildfire smoke exposure, higher pollen, and mental-health harms, citing roughly 195,900 additional deaths over 25 years.
  • Researchers and educators: Would demand restoration of climate datasets and federal web content removed or altered, aiming to protect research and classroom access to climate science.
  • Vulnerable communities: Would spotlight disproportionate harms to Black, brown, Indigenous, and low-income children who often live near fossil-fuel infrastructure and notes about 73 million children lacking voting power.
  • Federal policy and standards: Would urge reversal of executive actions that promote fossil fuels, restore the Environmental Protection Agency to its core mission, and push for laws consistent with reducing atmospheric CO2 to under 350 ppm by 2100.
