What does this mean?

Official title

Expressing support for honoring Earth Day, and for other purposes.

Plain summary

This resolution urges (1) the President to issue a proclamation recognizing Earth Day; and (2) governments and people to continue building upon the Paris Agreement and other efforts to ensure that future generations inherit a livable, sustainable, and ecologically rich planet. The resolution reaffirms that immediate action is needed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and ameliorate environmental injustices in order to protect our planet, public health, and overall well-being of all people and wildlife. In addition, it encourages the American people to mark Earth Day by working to address environmental challenges, uplift indigenous environmental knowledge and stewardship practices, educate others about the need for year-round action, and honor the stewardship ethic for which Senator Gaylord Nelson stood.
