Plenary
Setup
An entrepreneur talks reseeding forests with drones, and the Editors-in-Chief of the Washington Post and The Guardian explain how their newsrooms are pioneering the future of climate coverage. Nutrition experts serve up the climate potential of healthy food systems, a conservative leader seeks middle ground, and youth activists flip the script on climate doom. Then, a justice expert and an NGO leader collaborate on the cooperation we need to solve climate change.
