A concurrent resolution expressing the need for the Senate to provide advice and consent to ratification of the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity.

This concurrent resolution (SCONRES 11) urges the U.S. Senate to provide advice and consent for ratifying the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), which the U.S. signed in 1993 but has not ratified. It states that U.S. non-ratification prevents the country from voting in CBD decision-making, limiting its influence on global biodiversity policies that affect U.S. national security and economic interests. The resolution notes the U.S. is already legally compliant with CBD obligations under domestic law and is the only UN member state that has not ratified the treaty. This resolution does not change U.S. policy but calls for formal ratification to strengthen international engagement on biodiversity.
