  • This is David Gevis, Climate Correspondent at The New York Times.

  • At our Climate Forward Live event, we sit down with world leaders,

  • scientists, and innovators who are tackling the climate crisis head-on.

  • This year, we're having urgent conversations with figures including Energy Secretary Chris Wright,

  • Kate Brandt of Google, and Senator Brian Schatz.

  • And with our new Climate Forward podcast, you can engage with the ideas shaping our future,

  • even if you can't make the event.

  • Find Climate Forward wherever you get podcasts.

  • Hey, everyone, it's Rachel.

  • I'm here with a quick announcement.

  • Part of what we do at the show, as you know, is take you, our listeners,

  • into the world of an important story and behind the journalism in the newsroom here at The New York Times.

  • But we were thinking that there are certain stories that are hard to do in a busy news week,

  • and so many brilliant people doing incredible things at the times that might not end up on our regular program.

  • So we decided we wanted to try something new and fun.

  • We're going to bring you some other kinds of conversations and stories.

  • To begin with, we'll sit down for a conversation with our colleagues over in games.

  • And we're also going to show you how our composers work in the audio department.

  • We have other ideas of fun things, but These are the first two.

  • And our plan is to make these bonus conversations available only for subscribers.
