S. 680 — Ending China's Unfair Advantage Act of 2025

This section establishes definitions for purposes of the Act, including (1) "appropriate congressional committees" as the Committee on Foreign Relations and the Committee on Appropriations of the Senate and the Committee on Foreign Affairs and the Committee on Appropriations of the House of Representatives; (2) "Montreal Protocol" as the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer, done at Montreal on September 16, 1987; and (3) "United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change" as the convention adopted in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in June 1992.

This section prohibits the obligation or expenditure of federal funds to implement the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer—including its protocols, amendments, or any fund established under the Protocol (i.e., the Multilateral Fund, which assists developing countries in phasing out ozone-depleting substances)—until the President certifies to the appropriate congressional committees that the Protocol's parties have amended Decision I/12E to remove the People's Republic of China as a developing country.

This section prohibits the obligation or expenditure of federal funds for the operations and meetings of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), including its protocols or agreements or any fund established under them, until the President certifies to the appropriate congressional committees that the Parties have included the People's Republic of China in Annex I of the Convention (i.e., the list of developed countries subject to binding greenhouse gas emission reduction commitments).
