Expressing the sense of Congress that there is a climate emergency which demands a massive-scale mobilization to halt, reverse, and address its consequences and causes.

House Concurrent Resolution 37 is a non-binding measure that calls on the federal government to officially declare a climate emergency. It urges the President to use existing executive authorities and emergency powers to launch a large-scale mobilization aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and addressing the environmental impacts of climate change.

While the resolution does not create new laws or provide specific funding, its passage would signal a formal congressional commitment to prioritizing climate action in future policy and budgeting. For citizens, this could lead to an increase in federal resources directed toward clean energy transitions, infrastructure resilience, and public health initiatives related to environmental changes.
