A resolution recognizing the duty of the Federal Government to create a Green New Deal.

This resolution calls for the creation of a Green New Deal with the goals of

• achieving greenhouse gas and toxic emissions reductions needed to stay under 1.5 degrees Celsius of warming;
• establishing millions of high-wage union jobs and ensuring economic security for all;
• investing in infrastructure and industry;
• securing clean air and water, climate and community resiliency, healthy food, access to nature, and a sustainable environment for all; and
• promoting justice and equality.

The resolution calls for accomplishment of these goals through a 10-year national mobilization effort. The resolution also enumerates the goals and projects of the mobilization effort, including

• building smart power grids (i.e., power grids that enable customers to reduce their power use during peak demand periods);
• upgrading all existing buildings and constructing new buildings to achieve maximum energy and water efficiency;
• removing pollution and greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation and agricultural sectors;
• cleaning up existing hazardous waste and abandoned sites;
• ensuring businesspersons are free from unfair competition; and
• providing higher education, high-quality health care, and affordable, safe, and adequate housing to all.

Bill 118 SRES 173, also known as a resolution recognizing the duty of the Federal Government to create a Green New Deal, was introduced in the US Congress. The resolution calls for the government to take action to address climate change and promote economic growth through the implementation of a Green New Deal.

The Green New Deal aims to transition the United States to a clean energy economy by investing in renewable energy sources, improving energy efficiency, and creating green jobs. The resolution also emphasizes the need to address social and economic inequality, as well as the disproportionate impact of climate change on marginalized communities.

Supporters of the resolution argue that the Green New Deal is necessary to combat the growing threat of climate change and create a more sustainable future for future generations. Critics, however, have raised concerns about the cost and feasibility of implementing such a comprehensive plan. Overall, Bill 118 SRES 173 highlights the importance of taking bold and decisive action to address climate change and promote a more sustainable future for all Americans.
