John Kerry is stepping down as the president’s special envoy for climate this spring, according to two people familiar with the decision.
The change comes weeks after Kerry, 80, played a key role during a climate conference in Dubai helping to forge a compromise among nearly 200 countries aimed at reducing fossil fuels.
The White House didn’t immediately comment on Kerry’s decision.
Kerry, whose departure will come as President Biden is intensifying his re-election campaign, is one of the few top officials to depart an administration that has had historically low turnover.
Kerry has held the post for three years and has close ties with top Chinese officials, with whom he has been eager to engage even as some of the president’s advisers strike a more hawkish posture toward Beijing.

if you study hard and you do your homework, and you make an effort to be smart, uh, you, you can do well. If you don’t, you get stuck as Biden’s climate envoy.
When it comes to leaving a sinking ship, John Kerry has no peer. He knows exactly when to leave.
They probably weren't aware of it...
I met Senator Kerry years ago when I visited my son who lived in D.C. Son’s girlfriend was Kerry’s top aid and she loved his politics but admitted that he went our every night with underage girls.
You don’t suppose he was a pal of Epstein, do you?
