Greg Dalton founded Climate One from The Commonwealth Club in 2007 after traveling to the Russian Arctic on a global warming symposium with climate scientists and journalists. Seventeen years and more than 800 episodes later, Climate One airs on more than 80 public radio stations coast-to-coast, with a podcast version available on all major audio apps. The program is the premiere platform for bringing together leaders from all walks of life for high-level conversations about how to confront the climate crisis.
Dalton has interviewed such luminaries as actress and activist Jane Fonda, Vice President Al Gore, Sen. Cory Booker, founder of the Conservative Climate Caucus Rep. John Curtis, documentary filmmaker Ken Burns, Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson, and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. He takes pride in asking thoughtful questions that allow listeners to feel they are in the room too, holding conversations in a consciously curious manner that embody the empathetic nature of Climate One.
Prior to launching Climate One, Dalton worked for 12 years as a journalist covering stories in international cities like Beijing, Vancouver, New York City, and San Francisco. His work appeared in outlets such as the Associated Press, South China Morning Post, McNeil/Lehrer NewsHour, and The Industry Standard.
