HB5004 mandates that state agencies reduce greenhouse-gas emissions, funds the renewable-energy industry, and requires a statewide net-zero carbon-emissions goal by 2050.

The Connecticut Senate passed HB5004 on June 4, 2025 by a vote of 26 to 10. We have assigned pluses to the nays because climate-change programs aligned with the United Nations’ Agenda 2030 expand government bureaucracy and undermine both national and state sovereignty. This bill imposes unrealistic energy requirements and forces a costly transition to unreliable renewable energy sources, prioritizing ideological goals and reducing state sovereignty. States should reject UN environmental agendas that infringe on economic freedom and local control.
