Evidence

Sponsor: Rep. Hoyer, Steny H. [D-MD-5] (Introduced 11/03/2021) ... Latest Action: House - 11/03/2021 Referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs. ... This bill establishes programs to support efforts in developing countries to address climate change. ... reduce deforestation and restore forests to support enhanced carbon sequestration

Official bill record confirms Hoyer introduced the AMAZON21 Act to reduce deforestation and support forest carbon sequestration, but the legislative record shown here stops at referral. In the last 30-day lookback window I found no new official action advancing this commitment, so the promise remains only partially delivered.

never same_term A for effort

Hoyer did materially pursue the promise in federal office by introducing the AMAZON21 Act in 2021, aimed at reducing deforestation, restoring forests, and supporting carbon sequestration, and later continued related deforestation legislation. However, the cited bill did not advance beyond referral and there is no evidence that the promised federal legislative outcome was enacted or that deforestation was ended by 2030. This qualifies as a serious legislative effort but not delivery of the promised policy outcome.
