As more and more global leaders pledge funds and policies to combat the worsening climate crisis, a worry among many is that these resolutions are not coming fast enough despite the well-documented evidence and subsequent weather events tied to climate change. Former US Secretary of State John Kerry joins Yahoo Finance's Julie Hyman and Brian Sozzi from the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland to explore the plans on his agenda as the Special Presidential Envoy for Climate under the Biden administration, a role Kerry will be departing from this spring. "If you're not ready to acknowledge science and to recognize the reality of what is happening around the planet with greater intensity — storms, many more floods, torrential rainfall, greater intensity to tornados and winds with greater frequency — the damage that is being done by the climate crisis is now costing us already in the billions," Kerry explains. "And it's going to cost much more if we don't move now." While pointing to major corporations and CEOs as being pertinent to leading green transitions, Kerry also talks about his work with Chinese officials to open up and drive dialogues on climate change — "We have to all be at the table" — ultimately calling climate threats "a multilateral, global issue." It's all part of Yahoo Finance's exclusive coverage from the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, where our team will speak to top decision-makers as well as preeminent leaders in business, finance, and politics about the world’s most pressing issues and priorities for the coming year.
