Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
Potential $4B yearly for Green Climate Fund
The bill would authorize up to $4 billion in FY2026 and $4 billion in FY2027 for U.S. contributions to the Green Climate Fund. This is an authorization only, not actual spending. Congress would still need to pass separate appropriation bills before any money is sent. The bill notes that real climate‑finance needs are larger than these amounts.
New justice rules for climate finance
The bill would set U.S. policy for how climate finance should work. Projects would need to follow environmental and climate justice rules and be led by recipient countries and communities. It would require free, prior, and informed consent of Indigenous peoples and other impacted communities. It would also promote gender equality, human-rights safeguards, and support both mitigation and adaptation.
