US President-elect Joe Biden’s climate team is set to be announced this week, with key picks for energy, environment and transportation roles named on Tuesday — marking a dramatic shift toward global policy goals not seen during the Trump administration. Over the next few days, Biden is expected to tap Gina McCarthy, former administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, as his senior adviser on climate change. Former Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm will lead the Department of Energy. And Pete Buttigieg, the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana, and 2020 Democratic presidential candidate, is Biden’s nominee for Secretary of Transportation in a more climate-centric framing of the role.
