Sec. Kerry and Administration ramp up climate rhetoric

PDF versionPDF version

The Obama Administration is strengthening its message on global climate change. In a series of speeches this February, Secretary of State John Kerry called upon the global community to do what they could to immediately reduce the impacts of climate change. Sec. Kerry announced that U.S. embassies across the world will realign to put climate change at the forefront of their diplomatic endeavors, and compared the threats posed by global warming to those posed by terrorism.

The Administration’s climate change message is taking center stage as the President prepares to roll out a new proposal for a $1 billion climate change resilience fund.
