(Reuters) - A task force led by Democratic Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and former Secretary of State John Kerry will release recommendations for Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden to beef up his climate change policy on Wednesday after two months of meetings, two sources familiar with the announcement said.

Biden named Ocasio-Cortez, a supporter of one-time rival Bernie Sanders and champion of aggressive climate policies that would transform the economy, and Kerry as the co-chairs of the task force in May to try to come up with policy recommendations that could bridge the gap between the liberal and more centrist wings of the Democratic party.
