## Summary

**Reaffirm U.S. commitment to the Paris Agreement and encourage stronger climate action.** This resolution would express that the United States should remain a party to the Paris Agreement, urge federal, state, and local policies to reduce global warming pollution, and support businesses, investors, and communities taking action on climate change. - Families and vulnerable communities: notes that communities who contributed least to warming are disproportionately affected and that rapid, deep emission cuts by 2030 would help reduce loss and damage. - Federal, state, and local policymakers: would be urged to adopt policies to meet Paris objectives, with many states already having climate plans and clean-vehicle or renewable standards. - Businesses, investors, and workers: supports broad private mobilization and cites nearly 750 projects and about $422 billion in clean-energy investments tied to the Inflation Reduction Act, helping create more than 400,000 clean-energy jobs. - Health and consumer benefits: cites EPA vehicle-emissions standards projected to provide about $13 billion in annual health benefits, prevent about 25,000 premature deaths, and save drivers nearly $6,000 over a new vehicle's lifetime.
