“It’s one minute to midnight and we need to act now.' UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, whose government is hosting the COP26 talks, warned that humanity has run down the clock on climate change.
John Kerry and his team downplay expectations for COP26, as Congress mulls Biden's agendaJohn Kerry, the United States' special presidential envoy for climate, listens during an interview with the Associated Press in Washington, DC, on October 13.
It's a dreary turn of events for Kerry at the capstone of his long year of work for President Joe Biden, potentially his last big act of service in the spotlight before he returns to private life. Friends and colleagues tell CNN they have long assumed Kerry would leave government service after a year or so.
An impending global energy crisis has thrown markets into a"tailspin," as one Kerry aide put it to CNN, prompting Biden to plead for more crude oil production from oil-producing nations in the Middle East. The circumstances have led Biden administration officials to lower expectations for the Glasgow meeting, which they are messaging more as the beginning of a long process than as the culmination of Kerry's efforts over the last eight months.
