Join the Belfer Center for "From Doomsday to Hope: Covering Solutions to the Climate and Energy Crisis," featuring two leading environmental journalists: Sarah Kaplan of the Washington Post and Sammy Roth of the Los Angeles Times. 

While much of the news coverage of climate change has focused on the immense “gloom and doom” problems ahead, there is a new push in journalism to reach out to the public by featuring innovative solutions to the climate and energy crisis.

Sarah Kaplan is a reporter at the Washington Post, where she writes about climate science and humanity’s response to our warming world. A Brooklyn native, she credits a lifelong love of the New York Mets with preparing her (somewhat) for the frustration, disappointment and occasional bursts of hope that come with covering climate change. Sammy Roth covers energy and the environment for the Los Angeles Times and writes the weekly Boiling Point newsletter. He previously reported for the Desert Sun and USA Today, where he focused on renewable energy and public lands. He grew up in L.A. and bleeds Dodger blue. Science journalist Cristine Russell, ENRP Senior Fellow, will moderate.
