Legislative Progress
Key Points
- Would block the United Nations or UN-linked groups from charging U.S. citizens or companies a tax, tariff, fee, or penalty unless the U.S. has joined an agreement approved by the Senate.
- Would stop U.S. money from being used to support UN or UN-linked efforts that impose, enforce, or carry out a global carbon tax.
- Defines a “global carbon tax” as a shipping-related fuel system that makes vessel owners cut greenhouse gases and charges set costs based on emissions.
- Could affect U.S. shipping companies and businesses that move goods by sea by limiting U.S. involvement in international carbon charges tied to vessel emissions.
