Representative Scott Perry (R-PA) sponsored an amendment to H.R. 4521, the America Creating Opportunities for Manufacturing Pre-Eminence in Technology and Economic Strength (COMPETES) Act of 2021, to rescind U.S. participation in the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The UNFCCC is the critical international convening body for action to reduce climate pollution and build resiliency to the impacts of climate change across the globe. U.S. engagement in the UNFCCC is essential for motivating action from other current and historical major emitters, holding ourselves accountable to reducing our climate pollution, and contributing to others’ actions and resiliency to account for our outsized historical contribution to this global problem. On February 3, the House rejected the Perry amendment by a vote of 196-235 (House roll call vote 27). NO IS THE PRO-ENVIRONMENT VOTE.
