What this bill would do
The "No Climate Treaties Act of 2026" seeks to change how the United States handles international climate agreements. It would require any agreement involving the entry or reentry into climate pacts, or those mandating binding domestic greenhouse gas emission reductions, to be treated as a treaty. This includes the Paris Agreement adopted in 2015. Such agreements would then require the advice and consent of the Senate under Article II of the Constitution. Additionally, the bill restricts the use of Federal funds for these purposes. Funds cannot be used to implement or enforce such agreements unless they have received Senate approval.

Who it would affect, and how
Potential Positive Impacts for People
-
Increased Congressional Oversight: Under Section 2, any international climate agreement or agreement mandating legally binding reductions in domestic greenhouse gas emissions—specifically including the Paris Agreement—would be considered a treaty. This requires the agreement to be submitted to the Senate for advice and consent under the Constitution.
-
Fiscal Control over Climate Mandates: Section 3 states that no Federal funds may be obligated or expended to implement, enforce, or comply with these agreements unless they have received the advice and consent of the Senate. This ensures that money cannot be used for these specific international obligations without Senate approval.
Potential Negative Impacts for People
-
Restriction of International Climate Commitments: Section 2 specifies that agreements mandating legally binding reductions in domestic greenhouse gas emissions, such as the Paris Agreement, would now require formal Senate advice and consent. This could impact the ability of the United States to enter or reenter such agreements.
-
Funding Limitations for Climate Agreements: According to Section 3, Federal funds cannot be used to implement or enforce international climate agreements or those mandating binding reductions in greenhouse gas emissions unless Senate approval is obtained. This restricts how funds can be used to comply with such international agreements.
