Biden Names Secretary John Kerry as Special Presidential Envoy for Climate

Secretary Kerry needs no introduction. From signing the Paris Agreement on behalf of the United States as Secretary of State, to forming a bipartisan climate action coalition alongside the next generation of climate activists, his efforts to rally the world to combat climate change have been expansive and relentless. Now, I’ve asked him to return to government to get America back on track to address one of the most urgent national security threats we face—the climate crisis. This role is the first of its kind: the first time climate change has had a seat at the table on the National Security Council. There could be no one better suited to meet this moment.
