Ivanka Trump will meet with former Vice President Al Gore at Trump Tower on Monday to discuss climate issues, Trump transition officials told reporters.

The president-elect’s eldest daughter helped shape his child care policy plan during his campaign and has continued to advise him during the transition process. However, she and her brothers are expected to take over Trump’s business empire in the coming weeks as the incoming Republican president has promised to separate himself from his private business ventures to “fully focus on running the country.”

It was not clear whether Gore initiated the meeting with Ivanka, and transition officials declined to provide details on what the duo hoped to discuss beyond “climate issues.” However, a source close to Trump told Politico last week the 35-year-old mother of three hopes to make climate change one of her signature issues during her father’s presidency.

Trump has previously called climate change a hoax “created for and by the Chinese” and promised to dismantle many of President Obama’s ambitious climate policies.
