  (Ms. BROWNLEY asked and was given permission to address the House

for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. BROWNLEY. Madam Speaker, on this Earth Day, I rise to recognize 
the crucial significance of President Biden's international climate 
summit.
  After 4 years of neglecting our responsibilities to the planet and to 
future generations, the U.S. is back on the world stage and ready to 
take the bold and urgent action that the climate crisis demands.
  There is no ``go it alone'' approach when it comes to climate change. 
To mitigate the impacts of the climate crisis, the entire world must 
come together with a common goal of stopping pollution, protecting 
public health, and building a clean and just economy.
  The consequences of neglecting our duty to protect the planet have 
never been more clear.
  I look forward to working with my colleagues on both sides of the 
aisle to advance the ambitious climate plans of the summit and come 
together to create a cleaner and better tomorrow.
