Todd D. Stern (born May 4, 1951) was the United States Special Envoy for Climate Change, and was the United States' chief negotiator at the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement.[1][2]
Stern has proposed the creation of the E-8, a novel international group uniting leading developed nations and developing ones for an annual gathering focused on combating global warming.[6]
Stern previously served under the Bill Clinton administration as Assistant to the President and Staff Secretary in the White House from 1993 to 1998, during which time he also acted as the senior White House negotiator at the Kyoto Protocol and Buenos Aires negotiations.[7][8]
At the 2011 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP-17) in Durban, Stern was interrupted by Abigail Borah, who accused USA of moving to slowly to tackle climate change.[9]
