John Podesta will take over the role of special climate envoy John Kerry .
The veteran political strategist has been working for the past year as a senior adviser to President Joe Biden overseeing the rollout of the Inflation Reduction Act .
Podesta has decades of experience in Beltway politics and influenced shape of climate policy under three presidents.
The idea of a climate envoy is anathema to many Republicans in Congress , meaning any successor Biden appoints will face a tough road to confirmation.
If Donald Trump wins another term in November , the position will almost certainly vanish altogether.
The biggest item on Podesta ’s agenda will be the “new collective quantified goal” a fundraising target.
