Andrew Revkin is one of America’s most honored and experienced environmental journalists and the founding director of the Initiative on Communication and Sustainability at Columbia University’s Climate School. At Columbia he is building programs, courses, tools, and collaborations bridging communication gaps between science and society to cut climate risk and boost social and environmental resilience. He launched and runs the school’s Sustain What webcast, which has reached more than 1.5 million people in 250-plus episodes, and writes a column with the same name on Bulletin.com, a new platform for independent journalists backed by Facebook.

Revkin has written on climate change for more than 30 years, reporting from the North Pole to the White House, the Amazon rainforest to the Vatican, mostly for the New York Times. He has held positions at National Geographic and Discover Magazine and won the top awards in science journalism multiple times, along with a Guggenheim Fellowship. Revkin has written lauded books on the Anthropocene, the history of humanity’s relationship with weather, the changing Arctic, global warming, and the assault on the Amazon rainforest, as well as three book chapters on science communication. In spare moments, he’s a performing songwriter. Two very different films have been based on his work: Rock Star (Warner Brothers, 2001) and the triple-Golden-Globe-winning 1994 HBO film The Burning Season, based on Revkin’s biography of slain rainforest defender Chico Mendes.
