Peter Girard

Speaker

Peter has spent the past 10 years working with researchers, journalists, policymakers, and organizational leaders to communicate a scientific understanding of our changing world to people who have the power to protect it. He recently led communications at Climate Central, guiding the group to become the most widely cited climate NGO across global news media, and earning the trust of politically diverse outlets as a source of reliable, unbiased information on climate science and solutions. Peter’s previous work with community groups, lawmakers, and scientists in South Florida helped to reshape water management policy and stem the decline of the Everglades’ historic northern estuaries. Before that, after a stint as a reporter, Peter enjoyed a career in marketing and communications for early-stage technology companies. Today, Peter helps science-focused organizations – including C-Change Conversations – present an optimistic vision of the future and show people how they can become a part of it.
