This legislation aims to restrict United States financial contributions to two major international environmental agreements. It specifically prohibits the obligation or expenditure of federal funds for the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). For the Montreal Protocol, funding would cease until the Parties amend their decision to remove the People's Republic of China from its definition of a developing country. Similarly, for the UNFCCC, no federal funds could be used for its operations or associated funds until the Parties include China in Annex I of the Convention, which lists developed countries. The President is required to certify these changes to relevant congressional committees before funding can be reinstated for either agreement.
