What this bill would do

This bill, titled the "Ending China's Unfair Advantage Act of 2025," aims to stop federal funding for two major international environmental agreements. It prohibits funds for the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer until China is no longer defined as a developing country. Additionally, it prohibits funding for the operations, meetings, and agreements of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change. For the climate change funding to resume, the President must certify that China is included in Annex I of the Convention. These actions are tied to specific changes in how China is classified within these international bodies.
