Claim
a joint initiative of the WEC and then Prince of Wales Charles
Correction

This misnames the organization. The Great Reset was launched by the World Economic Forum (WEF), not the WEC.

Full reasoning

The World Economic Forum's own June 3, 2020 press release says "The announcement of the Great Reset was made by HRH The Prince of Wales and Professor Schwab" and later states that "These dialogues are a joint initiative of the World Economic Forum and HRH The Prince of Wales."

So the article's reference to "the WEC" is incorrect: the initiative was a World Economic Forum (WEF) project, not a "WEC" initiative.

Claim
Kerry was confirmed in this position on inauguration day, 20 January 2021.
Correction

John Kerry was not Senate-confirmed to this envoy role. He was appointed and sworn in on January 20, 2021.

Full reasoning

Congress's own CRS summary of the office says Biden announced that he would appoint John Kerry as Special Presidential Envoy for Climate, and that Kerry was sworn in on January 20, 2021. It does not describe a Senate confirmation for that appointment.

The same CRS document further notes that some observers criticized the office because Kerry "was appointed without the advice and consent of the Senate". That directly contradicts the article's claim that he was "confirmed" in the position.

So the accurate description is that Kerry was appointed and sworn in on January 20, 2021, not confirmed by the Senate for that role.

Claim
with the launching of the forum in May.
Correction

The Great Reset launch was in June 2020, not May 2020.

Full reasoning

The World Economic Forum's official launch announcement for the Great Reset is dated 3 June 2020. The same press release says "The announcement of the Great Reset" was made that day by the Prince of Wales and Klaus Schwab.

Because the initiative was officially launched on June 3, 2020, the article's statement that this renewed attention came with the forum's launch "in May" is off by about a month.
