He works on strategic communications\, especially related to climate science\, and is a well-regarded public speaker on weather and climate. His scientific area of expertise is on El Niño and La Niña\, and he previously served as the climate scientist for NOAA’s Climate.gov. \nIn addition to his work at NOAA\, DiLiberto is the lead for the Department of State’s U.S. Center at the United Nations climate change conference COP29\, currently taking place in Baku\, Azerbaijan.
