Philippe Cousteau: Explorer, Social Entrepreneur, & Environmental Advocate

Media: Engage

There is no question that media is as powerful a tool today as it was during my father’s time. I work with my team to create diverse multimedia content designed to tell engaging and empowering stories to a global audience. As a special correspondent for CNN and through online platforms, social media, books, feature coverage and news we leverage media as a powerful tool of change.

• CNN
  Special Correspondent and Host of Going Green Series

  As a special correspondent reporting on environmental and humanitarian issues around the world, I work on compelling stories that meld advocacy, amazing adventure television and new media to engage people across the globe in positive change. What I call “adventure advocacy” expeditions include trips to the Arctic Circle exploring climate change as well as our most recent expedition to the island of Sumatra in Indonesia to tell the story of 30 Hills; an area that could accurately be called ground zero for global deforestation.   From hosting CNN International’s Going Green series to reporting news, I am proud to be part of an amazing worldwide platform to tell empowering stories about our world.

  STAGE 3: Get Going → Act
  STAGE 4: Think Back → Reflect
