"The Green New Deal’s most prominent backer said Jan. 22 that she and other supporters are drafting a resolution to set out exactly what climate and clean energy policies they would support to combat climate change.

“We are working on a resolution [that] we’ll be introducing and we’re hoping to build some co-sponsorship” among House members, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) said in a brief interview leaving the Capitol.

The climate resolution planned by Green New Deal backers wouldn’t be binding and is “still in [the] drafting phase,” said Ocasio-Cortez. “But we’re looking to essentially just define the scope of the Green New Deal” with the resolution."
