No Climate Treaties Act of 2026

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.

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.
