A new congressional concurrent resolution was introduced on July 16, 2025, by Senator Merkley and Representatives Schakowsky, Jayapal, and Raskin.

Children and future generations, especially those that have borne the brunt of climate change, deserve a livable planet without being burdened by a lifetime of hardship.
