Lisa Jackson said she will step down as head of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency after four years during which she led the first efforts to curb carbon-dioxide emissions to combat global-warming risks.
“I will leave the EPA confident the ship is sailing in the right direction,” Jackson, 50, said today in a statement from the agency. Her plan is to depart after the president’s State of the Union speech next year.
