November 10, 2026 (Boston, MA) – Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey has appointed Aladdine Joroff as Climate Chief. She most recently served as the state’s Deputy Climate Chief, Director of Mitigation and Community Resilience. Conservation Law Foundation (CLF) released the following statement in response.

“Massachusetts faces enormous challenges, from making clean energy more affordable to ensuring every resident has access to clean air and water. Tackling those challenges demands leadership that can bring diverse stakeholders together and deliver results,” said Rishi Reddi, CLF Vice President for Massachusetts. “From her time working in important roles for the City of Boston, Harvard University, and the Commonwealth, Aladdine brings valuable and crucial experience. We look forward to continuing to work with her as she steps into this vital role.”

Healey created the position of Climate Chief in 2023 and Massachusetts is the first state in the nation to establish such a position at the cabinet level.

CLF experts are available for further comment.
