## Summary

**Climate justice** would be a central U.S. priority under this resolution, which honors Cecil Corbin‑Mark and urges American leadership to protect frontline communities from the health, food, and displacement risks of a warming world. - Families and children would be spotlighted for heightened health risks, with sources citing about 7 million premature deaths annually from air pollution and an estimated 250,000 additional climate‑related deaths per year between 2030 and 2050. - Frontline communities — including communities of color, indigenous peoples, and the elderly — would be explicitly prioritized for adaptation because they face heat islands, water insecurity, and disproportionate health harms. - Farmers and migrants would be central to adaptation goals, with droughts in Central America driving crop losses and modeling showing southern Africa could see food prices rise about 12% by 2030. - The resolution would push the U.S. to expand global partnerships to focus adaptation across agriculture, infrastructure, and health and to address risks to Small Island Developing States and the roughly 800 million people in South Asia who rely on Himalayan water supplies.
