Jan 31, 2024

Washington, D.C — In response to today’s reporting of John Podesta’s new role as senior adviser to the president for international climate policy, the League of Conservation Voters (LCV) issued the following statement from LCV President Gene Karpinski:

“We’re thrilled John Podesta is taking on this additional and vitally important role in the Biden-Harris administration! With John’s decades of tireless leadership at home and abroad, he is ideally suited to ensure that we continue to combat the climate crisis at the scale science demands in all that we do. We applaud John Kerry for his longtime climate leadership in many key roles, and we look forward to continuing to work with Podesta to work towards a more just and sustainable clean energy future for all.”
