Morning Plenary
Setup
NOAA’s chief scientist talks with a conservation expert about ocean biodiversity, we hear a call to ensure the safety of climate tech, and The White House makes an announcement. A biotech innovator shares how CRISPR could make cows better, a Texas environmental justice leader joins us, the Aspen Institute announces the winners of a pitch competition, and two meteorologists discuss their roles as climate communicators. Then, a multi-platinum musician has an unexpected idea for energy projects, and an Apple exec talks building coalitions.
