White House adviser John Podesta will replace John Kerry as the nation’s lead climate diplomat, the White House announced on Wednesday.

“We need to keep meeting the gravity of this moment, and there is no one better than John Podesta to make sure we do,” White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients, in a written statement shared with reporters.

Podesta will remain at the White House and will get the title of senior advisor to the president for international climate policy.

In that role, he will lead the Biden administration’s international climate policy agenda and will coordinate with other officials at the State Department.
