US climate envoy John Kerry to leave the Biden administration

US Special Envoy on Climate, John Kerry, is set to leave the Biden administration in the upcoming weeks, according to sources familiar with his plans. ​​Kerry, who previously served as a senator and secretary of state, was appointed to the new role dedicated to combatting climate change on a global scale shortly after Joe Biden's election in November 2020. Being one of the key architects of the 2015 Paris climate accords, Kerry brought significant expertise to the role, having served as secretary of state during the Obama administration and as a long-time member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
