California Gov. Jerry Brown is planning a trip to Russia later this month to discuss climate change policies at an economic forum featuring Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Brown, whose term as the state’s governor ends later this year, is on a quest to elevate California’s role as a warrior battling global warming. He is striking out on an international tour to position himself as the principal opponent of President Donald Trump’s climate policies.

“This Pacific forum on trade isn’t just an occasion to promote investment, it’s an opportunity to strengthen our commitment to decarbonizing the economy,” Brown said in a press statement Wednesday night about the forum Putin created in 2015. “Every government and every business is responsible for making this radical turn.”

He will arrive in Vladivostok, Russia shortly after the Trump administration forced Putin to close his country’s consulate in San Francisco. The order was given in retaliation for the Kremlin’s demand that the U.S. significantly reduce its diplomatic staff in Russia.
