Nita Lowey: “The U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change brings together…”

On the recordJune 13, 2019

The U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change brings together critical multilateral partners so the United States does not have to combat climate change alone. By supporting the UNFCCC, we are signaling to the world that we are committed and serious about combating this threat. The United States has been a party to the UNFCCC since 1992. As chairwoman of the House Appropriations Committee, I will never support efforts that jeopardize our treaty-based obligations, and I urge my colleagues to oppose this amendment. Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
