Expressing the sense of Congress that the United States is committed to ensuring a safe and healthy climate for future generations, and thus to restoring the climate.
HCONRES 46 is a non-binding congressional resolution expressing support for climate restoration. It declares Congress' commitment to restoring atmospheric CO2 levels to below 300 ppm (pre-industrial levels) and identifies climate restoration alongside achieving net-zero emissions as key climate policy priorities. The resolution specifically calls on the President, Secretary of State, and U.S. Ambassador to the UN to take actions toward restoring the climate and stabilizing greenhouse gas concentrations at preindustrial levels. It does not create new laws or funding, but formally recognizes an obligation to future generations to reverse climate change impacts. The resolution directly affects U.S. climate policy direction and international climate diplomacy efforts.
