In response to the news of John Podesta’s appointment as Senior Advisor to the President for Clean Energy Innovation and Implementation, Galvanize Climate Solutions (“Galvanize”), a climate investment platform, issued the following statement from Co-Chair Tom Steyer:

“Since Galvanize’s founding last September, we have been fortunate to have John serve as a Strategic Advisor, providing his guidance and expertise as we built Galvanize. With his appointment to the Biden-Harris administration, he has stepped down from his role.

“Working with John over many years, I’ve seen firsthand the depth of his expertise and dedication to building a future free from climate-induced human suffering. I can’t imagine a person more dedicated or qualified to champion the implementation of the historic Inflation Reduction Act.”
