HRES 1563 United States House · 118th Congress

Expressing the sense of Congress that the United States is committed to ensuring a safe and healthy climate for future generations, and thus to restoring the climate.

HRES 1563 is a non-binding resolution expressing Congress's commitment to climate restoration for future generations. It declares that the U.S. should prioritize restoring atmospheric CO2 levels to pre-industrial concentrations (below 300 ppm) alongside achieving net-zero emissions, calling for the executive branch to take action through international climate efforts. The resolution specifically urges the President, Secretary of State, and U.S. Ambassador to the UN to advance climate restoration, including removing 1 trillion tons of CO2 from the atmosphere by 2050. It does not create new laws or funding but formally recognizes the obligation to future generations, referencing scientific goals and prior resolutions like H.Res. 975.
