Ep. 49: Bernadette Woods Placky, on How Sports Can Catalyze Climate Communications, World’s Most Underrated Climate Solution
Executive Director of Talking Climate Collaborative
October 14, 2026
To celebrate the inaugural Green Sports Month, GreenSportsPod is airing four weekly interviews this October, led by EcoAthletes CEO and GSP founder Lew Blaustein. For our second Green Sports Month pod, Lew talks with Bernadette Woods Placky — meteorologist, climate communicator, force of nature and now — about the power of athletes and other key sports stakeholders to exponentially grow the impact of climate communications, the world’s most underrated climate solution!
ICYMI, check out last week’s GreenSportsPod featuring the engaging Rhydian Cowley, Olympic medal-winning race walker from Australia and climate action leader. Our third Green Sports Month pod will drop on October 21 when we talk with the amazing Caroline Gleich, world class skier turned climate activist, US Senate candidate and now a campaigner to protect her home state of Utah from the environmental, climate and public health ravages of the massive planned Stratos data center project!
