Senior Program Officer, 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."

"Climate change and what we do about it is going to transform the world much more rapidly than people realize. It’s my goal to get us moving to a world we will want, not one we’ll regret leaving for our children and grandchildren."

"Every American should visit Alaska...but not all at the same time."
