What it does
Declares a climate emergency and authorizes accelerated clean-energy and resilience investments with labor standards.
Why it matters
Emergency framing unlocks urgency — and tests whether Congress will match IPCC timelines with statutory tools.
Progressive take
Pair emissions targets with Just Transition funding. Climate bills that strand workers without wage floors recreate the backlash machine.
