CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) — U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry is visiting the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to talk about climate change.

A State Department news release says Kerry is scheduled to deliver a speech 10:30 a.m. on Monday on topics including “the global transition to a clean energy future.”

After the speech, Kerry will join MIT faculty and researchers for a round-table discussion on how advances in technology are shaping jobs and economies worldwide.

The speech will be streamed live online at www.state.gov.

Before becoming secretary of state in 2013, Kerry was a longtime U.S. senator from Massachusetts and was a prosecutor in the state. He returns to the Boston area after delivering Northeastern University’s commencement address in May 2016.
