Last weekend I participated in a conference in Venice, Italy, on climate change and the press. The meeting was hosted by former Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev under the auspices on the World Political Forum, an organization Gorbachev founded in 2003 to foster discussion on "crucial problems that affect humankind."https://cpj.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/venice.jpg
