S. Res. 36 is a Senate resolution expressing support for the United States' continued commitment to the Paris Agreement on climate change and calling for coordinated action across all levels of government and society to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The resolution highlights scientific evidence that human-caused climate change is accelerating, with vulnerable communities bearing the heaviest burden, and notes that global temperatures must stay below 1.5 degrees Celsius to avoid the worst impacts. The bill emphasizes progress already made—such as record clean energy investments from the Inflation Reduction Act, the creation of over 400,000 clean energy jobs, and commitments by 32 states to climate plans—while also stressing that the U.S. faces international competition, particularly from China, in the clean energy market. The resolution does not authorize any spending or create binding requirements; instead, it calls on the federal government, states, cities, tribal nations, businesses, universities, and other institutions to work together to reduce emissions and achieve the Paris Agreement's goals. This is a non-binding statement of Senate opinion rather than legislation that directly funds programs or imposes mandates.
