In-Person Program

Bill Weir is an anchor, writer, producer, and television host and was CNN’s first chief climate correspondent. He will speak about his first book, Life as We Know It (Can Be): Stories of People, Climate, and Hope in a Changing World.

The Malibu Library Speaker Series and Pepperdine University present CNN correspondent Bill Weir, speaking as part of Pepperdine's 2025 Climate Calling Conference. Climate Calling is a conference dedicated to exploring climate change, its consequences, and our moral calling to respond to growing concerns about the future of our planet. The conference is led by a group of Pepperdine faculty members from diverse disciplines.

Bill Weir is an anchor, writer, producer, and television host. In his first book, Life as We Know It (Can Be): Stories of People, Climate, and Hope in a Changing World, published in April 2024, he implores local communities to prepare for the future by remaining united with one another and the natural world.

Weir became CNN’s first chief climate correspondent in 2019, having spent six years at the network following a decade of award-winning journalism at ABC News. He was the creator and host of CNN’s original series "The Wonder List with Bill Weir." With Weir’s distinctive storytelling style and a focus on our connected planet, the series highlighted people, places, cultures, and creatures on the brink of seismic change.
