House resolution would encourage Earth Day action and climate cooperation

The House would urge the President to recognize Earth Day and encourage people to take environmental action. People across the United States would be encouraged to share Indigenous environmental knowledge and teach others about protecting the environment. These requests would not require the President or the public to act. The call for public action would extend beyond Earth Day to the rest of the year.

The House would urge the U.S. government to rejoin the Paris Agreement. The requests concern federal climate efforts and protection for people and wildlife. The resolution would express the House's position without itself rejoining the agreement or requiring emissions cuts. The House would call for immediate action to cut emissions and address environmental harms that unfairly burden some communities.
