WNYC News | Feb 2, 2021

Airing LIVE Thursday, February 4th, 8-9pm ET.

Join the national conversation with host Brian Lehrer as the Biden/Harris administration starts its work.

President Biden has said his administration's four priorities will be:

  • COVID-19
  • Economic Recovery
  • Racial Equity
  • Climate Change

This week: Host Brian Lehrer is joined by journalist Mark Hertsgaard, executive director of Covering Climate Now, a global journalism initiative, and the environment correspondent for The Nation, and activist Peggy Shepard, co-founder and executive director of WE ACT for Environmental Justice, to dig into the new administration's climate change agenda and ask how climate change -- and the policies to address it -- are affecting you and your neighborhood.
