Karine Durand has been a communicator, journalist, and TV presenter in the environment & weather sector since 2009. The only French woman specializing in extreme weather phenomena (tornadoes, hurricanes, storms), the climate-health link, and the climate of the USA, she worked for 11 years at La Cha\u00eene M\u00e9t\u00e9o\/Figaro Group, as editorial manager and presenter on the TV channel. She now regularly appears on several major national channels such as CNEWS, C8, Cstar (Canal+ Group) as well as on Europe1 radio, covering topics on weather, climate, and the environment.<\/p>\n
She is also a \u201cplanet expert\u201d for the Futura Sciences website and contributes to other media on the topics of weather disasters, the American climate, and adaptation to climate change through the preservation and restoration of natural lands. In the media sector, Karine is known for her great pedagogy, clear explanations that are understandable to all, all delivered with rigor, a smile, and passion.<\/p>\n
She holds a degree in Environmental Sciences internationally (Yale University, United Nations, U.S. government) and in Communication (Institut Fran\u00e7ais de Presse and Sorbonne Nouvelle). Karine is now a reference in weather-climate communication, with national and international recognition. She was even chosen to lead an international roundtable in English titled \u201cCommunicating about Climate in the Media\u201d in June 2021. Co-organized by the International Weather and Climate Forum, the European Space Agency, the World Meteorological Organization, and EUMETSAT, the event was viewed online by over 1500 weather and climate experts from 90 different countries.<\/p>\n
Her uniqueness lies in her adventurous profile: at the age of 25, she did not hesitate to go alone to a traditional cowboy ranch in Montana to learn about cattle work and the ecological management of natural lands. Passionate about wide open spaces and fascinated by extreme climatic phenomena, she has completed over 20 trips and internships in the United States and Canada in the wildest places, always solo, mainly in the Rocky Mountains of Montana (her adopted land) and in the Arizona desert. These trips and training sessions provide her with opportunities to enrich her knowledge of climate, biodiversity, and natural land management. She then shares this knowledge on television, in videos on her YouTube channel, in her articles, and at her conferences.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
