The Biden-Harris Administration hosted the White House Super Pollutants Summit in Washington, D.C., on 23 July 2024. The summit included discussions and presentations from government officials, private sector companies, environmental agencies, and international organizations dedicated to tackling the role of super pollutants in climate change, as well as further discussions on a bilateral strategy with China for reducing atmospheric super pollutants, such as nitrous oxide, methane, and other greenhouse gases (GHG).
