Kerry's decision comes on the heels of the recent United Nations climate summit in Dubai, COP28, where for the first time the final agreement said the world needs to be "transitioning away" from fossil fuels.
As special envoy, Kerry helped to establish and promote multilateral climate agreements between the United States and other top polluters and encouraged allies to make more robust pledges to reduce emissions.
At 2021's COP26 summit in Scotland, the U.S. and China announced they would speed up emissions reductions, including drawing down China's coal consumption.
