"There’s no time to start like today," Biden told reporters.
He said these actions are meant to keep his promises to the American people.
"We’re going to need legislation for a lot of the things," Biden said.
Biden plans to take 17 executive actions during his first hours in office, moving faster and more aggressively to dismantle his predecessor's legacy than any other modern president.
Biden will sign a flurry of executive orders, memoranda and directives to agencies, making his first moves to address the coronavirus pandemic and undo some of Donald Trump's signature policies.
