On November 23, 2020, President-elect Joe Biden's transition team announced that Kerry would be taking a full-time position in the administration, serving as a special envoy for climate; in this role he will be a principal on the National Security Council. Kerry assumed office on January 20, 2021, following Biden's inauguration.
John Kerry: ".....we are not even on track to keep two degrees alive today..and that`s why we need to be pushing harder...."
How hard can you push the climate agenda when you are 80 years old? Let´s remember the promise. We almost all wanted to be carbon neutral by 2050! How can you enjoy the fruits of your hard labor when you are 106 years old? One highlight of Kerry`s work is this:
At the end of July 2023 John Kerry visited India. Among others he declared, the USA will be committed to the target of delivering 100 billion dollars for climate action to low income countries and no future US president can retreat from climate commitment. He criticized Donald Trump for leaving the Paris agreement before.
However, a new approach is needed. Imagine a climate envoy: a 40-year-old woman with indigenous roots, untethered by political constraints, bringing a holistic perspective.
Indigenous genes symbolize a stewardship of the earth, free from institutional silos. This fresh perspective is essential to unravel the complexities of our global crisis.
It's time for a dynamic and multidisciplinary leader who sees the interconnectedness of climate challenges and can drive impactful change.
John, we wish you all the best and to be honest, lot`s of people envy you for having a wife with a private jet.
