Abrahm Lustgarten is an award-winning Investigative reporter, author, filmmaker and public speaker specializing in human adaptation to climate change, and an educator training journalists in cross-disciplinary communication about the climate crisis. He is the author of the new critically-acclaimed book, "On The Move; the Overheating Earth and the Uprooting of America", which the New York Times Book Review described as “eloquent” and “gripping,” and "[A] fascinating new look at the population changes wrought by climate crisis . . .. [that] should fill readers’ minds with possibilities."

His 2022 investigation into how the International Monetary Fund and global finance institutions have paralyzed Barbados and other climate-vulnerable nations with debt led in part to the Bridgetown Initiative, a global effort to reform climate finance for developing countries. His 2015 series examining water scarcity in the American West, “Killing the Colorado,” was a finalist for the 2016 Pulitzer Prize and the subject of a 2016 documentary for the Discovery Channel, which he co-produced. And his early investigation into fracking, starting in 2008, was the first to expose one of the oil industry’s most dangerous legacies — its ongoing threat to America’s drinking water.
