4:59Now PlayingGerman Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock presented Jennifer Morgan, the chief of Greenpeace International, as a special envoy for international climate policy on Wednesday.
Morgan said she was "honored by the trust" in her to lead Germany's climate policy and that she accepted the "important task with joy and determination."
She also said time is of the essence and that "we need unprecedented international cooperation" to tackle climate challenges.
Baerbock said she was glad that Germany's climate policy was "getting a face" and said it was a "dream appointment" for her.
Baerbock, of Germany's environmentalist Green Party, introduced Morgan to the media on Wednesday, after her appointment was approved by the German Cabinet.
It's thought that Morgan could play a leading role in Germany's efforts to curb global warming on the international stage — particularly as the country takes presidency of the G7 group of leading world economies.
According to Germany's Spiegel news magazine, which first reported the news, Morgan will initially become a special envoy and later state secretary in the Foreign Office. In the interim, the US-born campaigner must first acquire German citizenship.
