At the opening of the 2019 United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, Pelosi addressed world leaders and pledged Congress's support for efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

"This is a mission, this is a passion, this is a scientifically-based approach, to all. We are here to say to all of you, on behalf of the House of Representatives and the Congress of the United States, 'we're still in it.'"

"The United States has reduced all types of emissions, even as we grow our economy and ensure our citizens’ access to affordable energy."
