NPR's Climate Week 2023
NPR dedicated October 2-8, 2023 to stories and conversations about the search for climate solutions. Climate change is neither an endpoint, nor a talking point. It’s a reality we’re all part of, a state of constant movement, and still filled with uncharted territories. During NPR’s Climate Solutions Week, we’re focusing on the way things are going, and the way forward that’s envisioned by people working to protect their communities and the planet.
