Drawing attention to the need to address climate change by transitioning away from burning fossil fuels to clean energy is key to the mission of the Climate Reality Project. But getting ordinary people to prioritize reducing climate pollution is incredibly difficult in today’s political environment.

Evan I. Schwartz is an author, screenwriter, and editor who tells stories about the human imagination. He will join our January chapter call to share his story and insights on successful climate communication.

From 2020 to 2023, Evan served as storyteller and team member for Speed & Scale: An Action Plan for Solving Our Climate Crisis by John Doerr (Penguin/Portfolio). A member of the WGA for his documentary work, he produced and wrote Saved by the Sun, which gauges the future of solar power and premiered on PBS/NOVA on Earth Day 2007.

Evan I. Schwartz is a storyteller who focuses on bringing attention to climate impacts.

Currently a contributor at Smithsonian Magazine, Evan has also written for WIRED, Harvard Business Review, MIT Technology Review, and BusinessWeek. His journalism has been selected for a National Magazine Award and The Best American Science and Nature Writing. Smithsonian magazine recently published Evan’s article about kelp forests off the coast of California.
