From Headlines to Bottom Lines: An Inside View from New York Times Climate Reporter David Gelles
Offering unique insight about how climate change will impact our lives, this discussion delves into the economy, insurance, personal safety, migration, and more. C-Change Conversations Founder and President Kathleen Biggins and New York Times Climate Reporter David Gelles talk about what we are likely to face in a “3-degree world” and how we can still navigate to a safer future. Gelles, a bestselling author, also provides a fascinating overview of his new book, Dirtbag Billionaire: How Yvon Chouinard Built Patagonia, Made a Fortune, and Gave It Away.

“Dirtbag Billionaire is a powerful reminder that business,
at its best, can be good.
David Gelles captures the complex, often
conflicting pressure founders face – and the
courage it takes to lead with conviction.
It’s an inspiring call to dream big,
do the right thing, and use succes as a lever
for lasting imact. I couldn’t put it down.”
