President Biden plans to host a high-level Earth Day summit,

delivering on a campaign pledge and challenging his climate policy
team to ready ambitious and credible commitments that can stand

the signing ceremony for the Paris Agreement, where then-
Secretary of State John Kerry signed the accord he helped
negotiate the previous December.
