Ending China’s Unfair Advantage Act of 2024
This bill blocks U.S. federal funding for two international environmental agreements until China's country status changes under those treaties. Specifically, it prohibits funds for the Montreal Protocol (ozone protection) until China is removed from "developing country" status, and for the UN Climate Change Convention until China is added to Annex I (developed nations list). The bill requires the President to certify these status changes to Congress before funding can resume. It directly affects U.S. government budget allocations for these global environmental programs. The bill does not alter the treaties themselves but conditions U.S. financial participation on China's reclassification.
