A BILL 

To declare a national goal that the United States achieve 

a 100 percent clean economy by not later than 2050, 

and for other purposes. 

1 Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa2 tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, 

3 SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. 

4 This Act may be cited as the ‘‘100% Clean Economy 

5 Act of 2019’’. 

6 SEC. 2. NATIONAL GOAL. 

7 It is hereby declared that it is the national goal for 

8 the United States to achieve a 100 percent clean economy 

9 by not later than 2050. 

10 SEC. 3. FINDINGS. 

11 Congress makes the following findings: 

12 (1) In 2018, the United Nations Intergovern13 mental Panel on Climate Change released a report 

14 which projected that the global mean surface tem15 perature of the Earth could rise 1.5 °C above 


kjohnson on DSK79L0C42 with BILLS
3 

•HR 5221 IH

1 preindustrial levels as early as 2030. Increases be2 yond this threshold would likely have devastating ef3 fects on our society. 

4 (2) The 2018 report indicates that to prevent 

5 1.5 °C of warming above preindustrial levels, emis6 sions from human sources must be reduced by 40 to 

7 60 percent from 2010 levels by 2030, and to net 

8 zero emissions by 2050. 

9 (3) The Federal Government can and must play 

10 a leading role in global efforts to minimize climate 

11 change and to mitigate its worst effects. By achiev12 ing a 100 percent clean economy by 2050, the 

13 United States can take a critical step toward meet14 ing that obligation. 

15 (4) Greenhouse gas pollution, like many other 

16 forms of pollution, adversely affects human beings 

17 on both local and global scales. These effects are 

18 intersectional and accretive, and the cumulative im19 pact of past and present pollution has fallen dis20 proportionately upon already-vulnerable and 

21 -marginalized communities, including communities of 

22 color, Tribal and indigenous communities, low-in23 come communities, and rural communities. Current 

24 and future effects of climate change, including ad25 verse health effects and other harms, are being and 


kjohnson on DSK79L0C42 with BILLS
4 

•HR 5221 IH

1 will likely continue to be felt first and most severely 

2 in many of these same vulnerable communities. 

3 (5) Governmental action to correct environ4 mental injustice is morally imperative and necessary 

5 for public health. Federal policy can and should ac6 knowledge, and make use of, the intersections be7 tween the interlinked challenges of correcting envi8 ronmental injustice and reducing greenhouse gas 

9 pollution. 

10 (6) At the same time, American workers and 

11 communities are also suffering from economic in12 equality and wages are not keeping up with the cost 

13 of living for healthcare and other necessities. The 

14 trend downward in union representation and the 

15 bargaining power that provides for workers has cor16 responded with an increase in income going to the 

17 top 10 percent of earners. Federal climate policy can 

18 and should be shaped to diminish economic inequal19 ity and expand the rights of workers. 

20 (7) All people deserve clean air, clean water, a 

21 life free from toxic pollution that endanger public 

22 health or welfare, and to share in the benefits of a 

23 100 percent clean economy. 

24 (8) Sound climate policies to achieve a 100 per25 cent clean economy will spur the development and 


kjohnson on DSK79L0C42 with BILLS
5 

•HR 5221 IH

1 manufacturing of new technologies, the construction 

2 and repair of infrastructure, the restoration of nat3 ural systems for resilience and carbon sequestration, 

4 and the creation of new high-quality jobs. These in5 vestments can help ensure the competitiveness of the 

6 United States in the global economy. 

7 (9) As the Federal Government seeks to combat 

8 climate change, these new resources and opportuni9 ties should be concentrated, as quickly as possible 

10 and to the greatest extent practicable, in commu11 nities that are currently experiencing or potentially 

12 face disproportionate harm from pollution, and that 

13 face greater challenges in the transition to a 100 

14 percent clean economy. 

15 SEC. 4. FEDERAL AGENCY PLANS.
