Healey announced Tuesday that Joroff will succeed Hoffer, who was the first Cabinet-level climate chief."From helping communities prepare for severe weather to advancing clean energy solutions that lower costs and create jobs, Aladdine brings the experience, expertise and leadership we need to keep moving Massachusetts forward. I'm excited to have her take on this new role," Healey said.Most recently deputy climate chief and director of mitigation and community resilience in Hoffer's office, Joroff joined Healey's administration in August 2024 after serving as director of climate policy for Boston. Previously, she taught for a decade at Harvard Law School's Emmett Environmental Law and Policy Clinic, where she also worked with Massachusetts municipalities, nonprofits and advocacy groups on environmental and climate issues. Joroff practiced environmental, energy and land use law at Goodwin and Beveridge &amp; Diamond early in her career, the administration said.Under the executive order Healey signed on her first day in office to create the position, the climate chief is "the principal policy advisor to and primary representative of the Governor on all matters relating to climate, and shall lead the development and implementation of policy within executive department agencies and offices in all matters relating to or affecting climate innovation, mitigation, adaptation, and resilience."</div></body>
