Meet Our Experts
Lou Leonard
Managing Director of Climate Change
"Our political system in America is a bit like an ocean liner…neither is good at sudden changes in direction. But there are moments in time when we must act quickly and decisively. If we are to stop the climate crisis, that time is now."
Keya Chatterjee
Director, International Climate Policy
"We have to learn how to develop in a way that decouples pollution from prosperity"
Jeff Price
Sr. Scientist, Adaptation
"Our climate is changing rapidly. Already it is altering the places where WWF works, sometimes in radical ways. Local communities are beginning to adapt, though they don’t always have the knowledge needed for informed choices."
Nick Sundt
Director of Communications, Climate Change Program
"Climate change confronts us with two great challenges: slowing it down and preparing for its impacts. These demand more than government action; they require an informed and engaged public."
Jonathan Cook
Lead Specialist, Climate Change Adaptation
"Addressing climate change is absolutely critical to ensuring that we achieve a range of other goals, from poverty reduction to food security."
Other WWF Climate Experts
Bruce Cabarle
Senior Adviser Forest Carbon Initiative & Managing Director Global Forest Program WWF-US
"Forest product companies, and the global markets they drive, are the single most influential force affecting the well-being of the world's forests."
Jon Miceler
Managing Director, Eastern Himalayas
"Today, those who venture into the mountains of high Asia will have the unsettling experience of witnessing the disappearance of once great glaciers."
Kate Newman
Managing Director, Coral Triangle Program
"From a conservation perspective, the biodiversity and resources of the Coral Triangle make it the marine equivalent of the Amazon."
Margaret Williams
Managing Director, Bering Sea and Kamchatka Program
"Every American should visit Alaska...but not all at the same time."
Geoff York
Arctic Network Initiative - Polar Bear Coordinator
"The conservation of polar bears is much more than protecting a single species in a faraway place, it is also about the conservation of the world as we know it today."
Will Gartshore
Program Officer, U.S. Government Relations Program
"On the issue of climate change, it’s time for the political consensus to catch up to the scientific one. The facts are well established: our planet is warming in dangerous ways, and our reliance on dirty sources of energy is the root cause. It is time for our political leaders to recognize both the implications and the opportunities of this reality – and to act with the urgency, the courage and the cooperation that this moment requires."
