Abrahm Lustgarten writes about human adaptation to climate change for ProPublica and the New York Times Magazine, and is the author of the new book "On The Move," about how millions of Americans are becoming climate migrants, changing the culture and economy of the U.S. 

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.
