Here’s what you need to know about Biden’s Climate Dream Team, click on each name below to watch and share highlights from today’s event: - [Rep. Deb Haaland]( Secretary of the Interior: Once confirmed, Haaland will be the first-ever Native American Cabinet secretary. She’s spent her career fighting for families in Tribal Nations, rural communities, and communities of color -- including introducing a $100 billion plan to clean up legacy pollution that disproportionately impacts Black, Brown, and Indigenous communities. - [Former Gov. Jennifer Granholm]( Secretary of Energy: Granholm has invaluable experience in sparking a clean energy jobs boom -- she worked directly with President-elect Biden on just that when she was governor of Michigan, making record clean energy investments to create 21st century jobs and diversify Michigan’s economy. - [Michael Regan]( Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency: Regan could be the first Black man to serve as EPA Administrator -- he’s a long-time public servant currently serving as Secretary of the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality. He brings together government, business, and advocacy organizations to advance environmental justice and take on the climate crisis. - [Brenda Mallory]( Chair of the Council on Environmental Quality: Will be the first Black American to hold the position since its creation half a century ago, where she served as general counsel during the Obama administration, fighting for environmental, energy, and natural resource priorities. - [Gina McCarthy]( National Climate Advisor: As the first-ever National Climate Advisor leading the newly formed White House Office of Domestic Climate Policy, she will drive an “all-of-government” approach to combating climate change. The current president of the Natural Resources Defense Council (and Climate Power Advisory Board member!), she’s played a key role in blocking Trump’s anti-climate agenda and is one of the nation’s most trusted and accomplished voices on environmental issues. - [Ali Zaidi]( Deputy National Climate Advisor: An experienced climate leader who helped design, draft, and implement President Obama’s Climate Action Plan and helped to negotiate the Paris Climate Agreement. He’s also behind Biden’s historic plan to tackle the climate crisis, fight for environmental justice, revitalize communities left behind, and create millions of good paying, clean energy union jobs — all at the same time.
