Hi, I’m Ari Shapiro. Over more than 20 years at NPR, I’ve reported from above the Arctic Circle and aboard Air Force One. I’ve covered wars in Ukraine, Iraq, and Israel, and I’ve filed stories from dozens of countries and most of the 50 states. Last October, I set off on the most ambitious reporting project of my career. My team and I spent three weeks traveling from Senegal to Morocco to Spain, trying to connect the dots across three of the biggest stories of our time: climate change, global migration, and the rise of far-right political leaders.
I’ll start answering questions at 1PM Eastern. You can follow me on Twitter and Instagram.
