Bill 118 hr 2781, also known as the "United States Withdrawal from UNFCCC Act," aims to withdraw the United States from the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The bill was introduced in the House of Representatives and is currently under consideration.
The UNFCCC is an international treaty that aims to combat climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promoting sustainable development. The United States has been a party to the UNFCCC since it was adopted in 1992.
If passed, this bill would require the United States to formally withdraw from the UNFCCC, effectively ending its participation in the treaty. The bill also includes provisions for the United States to cease all funding and support for the UNFCCC and its related activities.
Supporters of the bill argue that the UNFCCC is ineffective and imposes unnecessary regulations on the United States. They believe that withdrawing from the treaty would allow the United States to pursue its own climate policies without international interference.
Opponents of the bill argue that withdrawing from the UNFCCC would harm global efforts to combat climate change and undermine the United States' credibility on the world stage. They believe that the United States should remain a party to the treaty and work with other countries to address the growing threat of climate change.
Overall, Bill 118 hr 2781 is a controversial piece of legislation that raises important questions about the United States' role in international climate change efforts. It remains to be seen how the bill will progress through Congress and what its ultimate impact will be on US climate policy.
