Reuters on December 14 that U.S. President-elect Biden is considering appointing Gina McCarthy as the U.S. domestic climate envoy, which is mainly responsible for coordinating climate policy among U.S. federal agencies.
McCarthy served as the director of the Environmental Protection Agency during the former President Obama of the United States and currently serves as the president of the Natural Resources Conservation Association (NRDC).
If confirmed for a new position, McCarthy will become the domestic partner of the U.S. climate envoy-designate Kerry.
Biden is reportedly expected to release another list of new ruling teams later this week, including the EPA, domestic climate envoys and interior candidates.
