John Kerry, the US special envoy on climate is stepping down from the Biden administration in the coming weeks.

Iran PressAmerica: The former senator and secretary of state, who held the climate role for three years, will reportedly be involved in promoting Mr Biden's work on combatting global warming.

Americans will head to the polls in November to elect their next president.

Kerry's departure follows the COP28 climate summit in Dubai, where he helped negotiate an agreement for countries to move away from using fossil fuels.

During his tenure, he also worked effectively with China despite strained diplomatic ties.
