(12,463 posts)The Kigali Amendment would include a global phasedown of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), which are greenhouse gases.
WASHINGTON Sens. John Kennedy (R-La.) and Tom Carper (D-Del.) today urged the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to send the Kigali Amendment to the full Senate for ratification.
Ratification of the Kigali Amendment will further open up global markets to American-made products and will allow the federal government to further prevent illegal Chinese dumping of HFCs in the United States, which hurts U.S. businesses, the senators wrote.
Similarly, to the AIM Act, ratification of the Kigali Amendment is broadly supported across industry and environmental stakeholders, because these groups know ratification will be good for our economy, our planet, and our communities, they continued.
