The National Geographic Society Presents: Exploring and Illuminating a Changing Planet
Setup
The science on climate change is clear, yet data alone does not inspire change. We must combine science with powerful storytelling to raise awareness, drive action, and move the world to make big changes. National Geographic Explorers are on the front lines of some of the world’s most pressing issues, documenting and bringing to life the people, places, and species most impacted. Join Explorers Ciril Jazbec and Malaika Vaz and National Geographic Society CEO Jill Tiefenthaler for a captivating discussion filled with stunning visual imagery of life on a changing planet.
