President-Elect Biden to Formally Introduce Climate Team

VOA News

   U.S. President-elect Joe Biden is set to introduce the team Saturday
   that will advance his ambitious climate change and energy agenda to the
   public.

   Biden, a Democrat, will formally introduce a history-making team tasked
   with making good on his promises to combat global warming, promote
   green energy and address pollution.

   With Democrats clinging to a slim majority in the House of
   Representatives and control of the Senate still undecided, the Biden
   administration may achieve little success in Congress, potentially
   forcing it to depend on rule changes at regulatory agencies to enact
   change.

   The former U.S. vice president to President Barak Obama will disclose
   more details about his climate plan when he formally introduces team
   members in his home state of Delaware.

   The team, which environmental groups have largely praised for its
   experience and diversity, is comprised of six members.

   Gina McCarthy, Obama's Environmental Protection Agency administrator,
   will be responsible for implementing Biden's domestic agenda in the
   newly created position of national climate adviser.
