                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
   Expressing the commitment of the Congress to the Paris Agreement.

Whereas the challenge of climate change requires a global effort;
Whereas the international community must work to both reduce greenhouse gas 
        emissions as well as prepare for the effects of climate change;
Whereas the United States plays an indispensable role in global leadership;
Whereas the Paris Agreement sets goals that are not only achievable but 
        necessary in order to move towards a pathway to limit temperature rise 
        to below 2 degrees Celsius; and
Whereas the United States is stronger when joining with global efforts to 
        address climate change: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That Congress reaffirms its commitment to the Paris Agreement and that 
the United States is still in and should not withdraw.
