Judith Schwartz

Judith Schwartz is a journalist whose work explores nature-based solutions to global environmental, social, and economic challenges. She showcases the ways in which nature itself can heal the wounds we have inflicted on our planet by telling stories to explore and illuminate scientific concepts and cultural nuance. 

“Let me now introduce an alternate definition of climate change: manifestations of distorted carbon, water and energy cycles. That doesn’t negate the single story of fossil fuel-borne carbon but broadens it in a way that creates opportunities beyond fighting fossil fuel interests. At this moment of reckless distraction and denial, it is crucial to find meaningful paths forward. Climate is not a function of one sole metric; it is not a single story. And this is where we find opportunities.” – Judith Schwartz
