Recognizing the threat of extreme weather to children's health and well-being, and expressing the sense of Congress that solutions must be rapidly and equitably developed and deployed to address the unique vulnerabilities and needs of children.

This resolution recognizes that extreme weather — including record-breaking heat, wildfires, and worsening air quality — poses a serious and growing threat to children's health. It notes that babies and children are uniquely vulnerable because their bodies are still developing and they breathe faster than adults, increasing their exposure to pollutants. The resolution calls for rapidly developing solutions tailored to children's needs, including better school air filtration, child-sized masks during smoke events, child-friendly cooling centers, updated school infrastructure, and improved public alerts before and during extreme weather.
