"John Podesta Named as Biden's Successor to John Kerry for Top Climate Role"
TL;DR
John Podesta will take over as the top US official on international climate issues, replacing John Kerry, who is stepping down to work on Joe Biden’s re-election campaign. Podesta, a behind-the-scenes veteran on climate in past Democratic administrations, will add international climate policy to his current job responsibilities as the White House senior adviser. This move avoids a potential partisan fight in the Senate, as Podesta's new role does not require Senate confirmation.
