Recognizing small business leadership in combating climate change.

HRES 1048 is a symbolic resolution recognizing small businesses for their role in climate action. It acknowledges that small businesses (comprising 90% of global businesses and supporting millions of U.S. jobs in clean energy sectors) are critical to addressing climate change. The resolution states the House’s commitment to empowering small businesses to reduce emissions and build environmental resilience, but it contains no binding policy changes, funding, or new requirements. As a non-binding resolution, it does not create enforceable obligations or alter existing laws.
