Read Secretary of State John Kerry’s statement from March 7, 2014 on the importance of all members of the State Department participating in efforts to combat climate change.
One thing’s for sure: there’s no time to lose. The scientific facts are coming back to us in a stronger fashion and with greater urgency than ever before. That’s why I spoke in Jakarta about the threat of climate change and what we, as citizens of the world, can do to address it. That’s why I raised this issue at our senior management retreat here in Washington, and why I’ll be raising it again at our Chiefs of Mission Conference next week. This challenge demands elevated urgency and attention from all of us.
