Somini Sengupta, an award-winning reporter for the New York Times and anchor of Climate Fwd, a New York Times newsletter, shares what she’s learned as a journalist covering the human toll of global warming in a public talk held and recorded on Feb. 9, 2022.
Somini Sengupta tells the stories of communities and landscapes most vulnerable to the effects of climate change — reporting from the front lines of the climate crisis, and recently focusing more and more on both China and the United States’ converging interests on global warming. Sengupta is the recipient of a George Polk Award for foreign reporting, as well as awards from the National Association of Black Journalists, the New York Newswomen’s Club and the United Nations Correspondents Association.
