New Hampshire Democrat Sen. Jeanne Shaheen has announced she is leading the effort in the U.S. Senate to pass legislation forcing the Trump administration to comply with the Paris Climate accords.

Known as the International Climate Accountability Act, Shaheen’s bill is the Senate companion bill to H.R. 9, or the Climate Action Now Act, which passed the House of Representatives with near-unanimous support of the Democratic caucus last month.
