In a compelling series from the Climate Forward conference in New York City, leading experts and policymakers engage in candid discussions about the escalating threat of climate change. This particular event brought together key figures to deliberate on the path forward for environmental advocacy.
Amidst significant setbacks, including a past administration’s rapid disengagement from climate initiatives, the dismissal of scientists, the rollback of environmental regulations, and the dismantling of crucial climate legislation, activists have faced considerable challenges. In this critical conversation, Abigail Dillen, President of Earthjustice; Manish Bapna, President of the Natural Resources Defense Council; and renowned author and activist Bill McKibben joined Cara Buckley to explore what has genuinely worked—and what has decisively failed—within the climate movement.
This insightful discussion delves into essential questions about adapting strategies and fostering a more effective approach to environmental protection.
