Representative Barbara Lee is doing what COP26 didn’t November 18, 2021
In an effort to address this issue, Representative Barbara Lee introduced a bill early on in the conference. House Resolution 767 calls for the U.S. military to monitor, reduce, and report its greenhouse gas emissions annually, and to ensure its reduction targets fall in line with the Paris Agreement. This resolution is important because the U.S. military is the single largest institutional producer of greenhouse gases in the world.
So far, 26 Congressional Representatives understand the dire need for this resolution and signed on. But that is not enough. You can take action by contacting your U.S. Representative and telling them to sign on to H.Res. 767.
