Tatiana Schlossberg, a climate journalist and granddaughter of former U.S. President John F. Kennedy, has died at the age of 35.
Her death was announced by her family in a statement shared by the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation. “Our beautiful Tatiana passed away this morning,” they wrote. “She will always be in our hearts.”
Schlossberg, the daughter of designer Edwin Schlossberg and diplomat Caroline Kennedy, was diagnosed late last year with an aggressive form of cancer. In a November essay, she revealed that doctors had given her less than a year to live.
She was the author of Inconspicuous Consumption: The Environmental Impact You Don’t Know You Have (2019), establishing her own voice as a writer focused on the climate crisis. Her death is a profound loss to both her family and the field of environmental journalism.
