Biden introduces diverse environment team to tackle climate change

MM News Staff by MM News Staff
December 20, 2020

WASHINGTON: President-elect Joe Biden introduced key members of his environmental team and said his administration would make the fight against global warming a pillar of his drive to rebuild the pandemic-hit US economy.

Biden said these nominees will “lead my Administration’s ambitious plan to address an existential threat of our time – climate change.”

“Folks, we’re in a crisis,” Biden said at the event in Wilmington, Delaware. “Just like we need to be a unified nation to respond to Covid-19, we need a unified national response to climate change.”

The nominees introduced include Representative Deb Haaland of New Mexico to be Interior Secretary. Overseeing America’s natural resources that include national parks and wildlife refuges, if confirmed by the Senate, Haaland would be the first Native American to hold a cabinet position.

Biden said his administration will work to modernize water, transportation and energy infrastructure to make it better equipped to resist extreme weather conditions — and create many jobs along the way.

Biden also said he wants to build 500,000 electric vehicle charging stations and 1.5 million energy-efficient homes and public housing units. He also said his administration will create a quarter million jobs “right away” by hiring people to plug millions of abandoned oil and gas wells that are deemed a health and safety risk.

It’s not enough to say we have a climate crisis. We must take the right actions to confront this crisis, with leadership ready to protect this planet and create millions of good-paying jobs.

This is the team that will tackle the climate fight:https://t.co/kj73D37Ql9

Biden repeated that he will rejoin the Paris climate accord, which President Donald Trump abandoned, and restore a slew of Obama-era environmental regulations that Trump eliminated.

For other jobs, Biden said he has picked Gina McCarthy, Obama’s Environmental Protection Agency administrator, to lead a new White House Office of Climate Policy.

Biden has also tapped Michael Regan, North Carolina’s top environmental regulator, to run the Environmental Protection Agency and Brenda Mallory, an environmental attorney, to direct the Council on Environmental Quality. Regan and Mallory are Black. Biden said that with the latest announcements, his cabinet will feature six African Americans.
