"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."

About Nick Sundt:

Nick joined WWF in January 2008 from the U.S. Climate Change Science Program (CCSP) coordination office where he served as communications manager. Prior to joining the CCSP office in 2000, Nick edited two climate-related publications: Global Change magazine (1995-2000) and a monthly newsletter, Energy, Economics and Climate Change (1991-1994). From 1982 through 1990, he was an analyst with the Congressional Office of Technology Assessment (OTA) where he contributed to six major assessments -- including OTA's first report on climate change.

From 1976 through 1990, Nick spent most of his summers in the West working for the U.S. Forest Service as a firefighter – including six seasons as a smokejumper. Nick started working on environmental issues in high school and he has been focused on climate change issues for over 30 years.
