President-elect Joe Biden's picks for Cabinet and top White House jobs show he intends to be an aggressive and energetic general in the global battle against climate change. " "Just like we need to be a unified nation to respond to Covid-19, we need a unified national response to climate change." From the State Department to Transportation and top White House economics posts, he has picked champions of transformational climate policy. And a conservative Supreme Court may challenge his attempts to use executive power to tilt the economy toward clean energy. But climate politics now has the momentum, and that will drive Biden's presidency at home and abroad.
