Andrew Revkin is an award-winning environmental journalism innovator and author who has spent more than 40 years reporting on climate change, mostly for The New York Times. His main outlet since 2020 has been a video webcast and Substack newsletter on sustainability challenges called Sustain What, in which his core premise is that words like sustainability have no meaning until you ask, “Sustain what? For whom? How?” The webcast has reached several million viewers and included more than 1,300 guests through some 650 episodes. Revkin has built programs and courses fostering environmental-communication impact at Columbia University, Pace University and the National Geographic Society, where he has been a member of the Executive Committee for Research and Exploration since 2018. His five books include The Burning Season, a prize-winning biography of slain rain forest defender Chico Mendes that was the basis for the multiple Emmy- and Golden-Globe-winning 1994 HBO film of the same name. He lives on the Maine coast with his wife and sometime co-author Lisa Mechaley and is spending more time these days focused on songwriting and performing. More: https://j.mp/revkinlinks
