Biography

Elliot Diringer is a Global Fellow at the Center on Global Energy Policy (CGEP), where he directs the Center’s International Dialogue on Climate and Trade. Elliot came to CGEP from the U.S. Department of State, where he served as a Senior Policy Advisor to Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry. In that capacity, he led planning for the Leaders Summit on Climate hosted by President Biden in April 2021 and leader-level meetings of the Major Economies Forum on Energy and Climate.

Elliot first focused on climate change as a journalist covering the 1992 Earth Summit for the San Francisco Chronicle.  He joined the Clinton White House in 1997, serving as communications director at the Council on Environmental Quality and as a deputy press secretary and deputy assistant to the president. Prior to returning to government, Elliot was executive vice president of the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions (C2ES), formerly the Pew Center on Global Climate Change. He led the Center’s international program from 2001 to 2021, directing dozens of international climate policy studies and regularly convening lead climate negotiators from key countries.  He led the influential Climate Dialogue at Pocantico and the Toward 2015 dialogue, which helped build consensus on the conceptual underpinnings of the Paris Agreement.

Elliot is a graduate of Haverford College and was a 1995-96 Nieman Fellow at Harvard University.
