Envoy

How did the term "envoy" come to be used? It seems inappropriate. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/envoy John Link (talk) 05:10, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Seems entirely appropriate for a diplomatic agent not accredited to any foreign state or international organization. Ricjac (talk) 13:04, 26 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

To where is he being sent? John Link (talk) 19:02, 27 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Name Change

Shouldn't the name of this article be: United States Special Presidential Envoy for Climate instead of the abbreviated U.S.? Kerry's article is using the non-abbreviated version. --TDKR Chicago 101 (talk) 16:04, 26 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Parent organization

I think the parent organization and seal should be United States Department of State not the Executive Office of the President of the United States. A special envoy is an ambassador, and all ambassadors are appointed by the President but all operate as State Department employees (see United States Special Envoy for Northern Ireland etc). Biden created this envoy and gave it a seat on the NSC, but its still funded and staffed through the State Department. I bet all of the staff have state.gov emails. -- Asdasdasdff (talk) 00:35, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
