Dr. Katharine Hayhoe is an atmospheric scientist and climate communicator, serving as chief scientist for The Nature Conservancy and as a Horn Distinguished Professor and Endowed Chair in Public Policy and Public Law at Texas Tech University. Hayhoe's research focuses on developing and applying high-resolution climate projections to evaluate the impacts of climate change on human society and the natural environment. She has authored more than 150 scientific papers and engages in climate education through books, public speaking, and policy advocacy. Her work has contributed to key reports, including the U.S. Global Change Research Program's National Climate Assessments.

Hayhoe has been recognized for making complex climate science accessible to diverse audiences. She bridges divides across political, cultural, and religious lines, emphasizing that climate change is both an environmental and human issue. Her TED talk, "The most important thing you can do to fight climate change: talk about it," has garnered millions of views. Hayhoe hosted the PBS digital series "Global Weirding: Climate, Politics and Religion" and produces the newsletter "Talking Climate."

Her books include "Saving Us: A Climate Scientist's Case for Hope and Healing in a Divided World" and "Downscaling Techniques for High-Resolution Climate Projections: From Global Change to Local Impacts." "Saving Us" became a national bestseller and received recognition from the American Energy Society and the Atmospheric Science Librarian's Choice awards. Hayhoe draws on climate science, psychology, and sociology to explore effective climate communication and practical solutions for a more livable world.

Hayhoe's contributions have been recognized with honors such as the United Nations Champions of the Earth award, the National Center for Science Education's Friend of the Planet Award, the American Geophysical Union's Climate Communication Prize and Ambassador Award, and the Sierra Club's Distinguished Service Award.

Katharine Hayhoe Speaking Topics

  • Talking Climate Change with Christians

    The Bible never mentions climate change

    • yet from Genesis to Revelation, its full of instruction and guidance of how we are to care for and protect this unique home God has given us and those who share it with us. How is fossil fuel use and climate change affecting Gods creation? If we view the Earth as Gods gift to us, what does it mean to be a good steward of that gift? And if we truly believe we are called to love others as we've been loved by God, what should our perspective be on climate action and climate justice?

  • Climate Change: Fact or Fiction?

    Climate change is one of the most hotly debated scientific issues of today. But, is the evidence solid? Are proposed solutions viable? And why would any of us even care? Join Katharine Hayhoe as she untangles the complex science behind global warming and highlights the key role our values play in shaping our attitudes and actions on this crucial topic.
