H.Res. 68 is a congressional resolution expressing disapproval of President Trump's announcement to withdraw the United States from the Paris Agreement, the international climate accord signed by 195 nations aimed at limiting global temperature increases. The resolution, sponsored by over 130 Democratic representatives, argues that U.S. withdrawal undermines climate commitments, cedes clean energy leadership to rival nations like China, and contradicts recent economic gains from climate-related legislation that has created over 406,000 jobs and attracted $422 billion in private investment. The resolution emphasizes that climate change poses threats to national security, public health, and the economy—citing that extreme weather events cost the U.S. nearly $150 billion annually—and notes that 68 percent of Americans support Paris Agreement participation. The resolution calls on the President to reverse the withdrawal decision and urges Congress to prioritize U.S. global climate leadership, but as a resolution rather than legislation, it carries no binding force or budgetary implications.
