Climate smart people and places featured in new 'Here & Now' series

Here & Now — the live, national midday news program from NPR and WBUR — debuts a new series this summer to spotlight people and places across the U.S. with solutions that are making a difference to stem climate change.

"Reverse Course: Individual action to combat climate change" delivers stories from the field, introducing listeners to people whose projects are succeeding and helping to shape climate smart communities. Led by senior editor Peter O'Dowd and producer Chris Bentley, "Reverse Course" will air during Here & Now from June 27 to 29 and culminate with a special episode of the Here & Now Anytime podcast on June 30.

"Reverse Course" is made possible in part with funding from Ceres, a nonprofit organization working with the most influential capital market leaders to solve the world's greatest sustainability challenges.
