This year we were fortunate enough to have 2 Jefferson Science Fellows. Professor Mark Mascal visited the embassy to support electric vehicle efforts as we work to meet our goal to be purchasing 100% EVs by 2027 for our agency fleet!

.@ClimateEnvoy: To meet the challenge, at the Leaders’ Summit in April, the United States announced an ambitious target of reducing our emissions by 50-52 percent by 2030. We do all this knowing full well that no country and no continent alone can solve the climate crisis.

.@ClimateEnvoy: The suffering of COVID will be magnified many times over in a world that does not grapple with and ultimately halt the climate crisis. We do not have the luxury of waiting until COVID is vanquished to take up the climate challenge. go.usa.gov/xFg46
