Welcome to a special edition of the Climate Forward series from The New York Times, where we bring you critical and candid discussions on the escalating threat of climate change. These essential conversations feature leading world figures, top business executives, and influential policymakers, all recorded live at the annual Climate Forward conference in New York City.
Among the most prominent voices shaping the global conversation around climate change is former Vice President Al Gore. A Nobel Peace Prize laureate recognized for his tireless environmental advocacy, Gore has been instrumental in ensuring that the climate crisis remains a central topic in public discourse.
Al Gore’s Perspective
As President Trump initiated significant rollbacks of key environmental regulations, the future of climate action became uncertain. In a frank and illuminating conversation with David Gelles, Al Gore shares his strategic vision for the climate movement to press forward. He addresses how to confront policy challenges and, crucially, where he continues to find hope and motivation in the ongoing battle to protect our rapidly warming planet.
This discussion offers a crucial look at the current state of environmental action and provides valuable perspectives on fostering resilience and optimism amidst global climate challenges.
