A concurrent resolution recognizing a health and safety emergency disproportionately affecting the fundamental rights of children due to the Trump administration's directives that unleash fossil fuels and greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change, while suppressing climate change science.

This concurrent resolution (S. Con. Res. 18) is a nonbinding statement adopted by both chambers of Congress that recognizes a health and safety emergency disproportionately affecting children, caused by federal directives that promote fossil fuel production and greenhouse gas emissions while restricting climate science. It attacks past and current Trump administration orders, arguing they exceed authority and undermine the EPA’s mission, climate data transparency, and the transition to clean energy. The measure calls on Congress and the administration to reverse these policies, restore the EPA’s core mission, republish climate science data, and adopt policies that protect children's fundamental rights. It also envisions an intergenerational approach to governance and sets policy goals tying energy and climate law to reducing atmospheric carbon dioxide and safeguarding children’s rights. As a concurrent resolution, this bill expresses the sense of Congress rather than create new law or funding. It does not by itself obligate the executive branch or authorize spending. Instead, it seeks to shape policy dialogue, encourage oversight, and signal congressional intent to realign federal actions with climate science and children’s rights.
