These are still happening.

Two networks, CNN and MSNBC, announced this week that they will host climate forums in September — albeit with different criteria.
CNN’s forum will take place on September 4 in New York City and will feature any Democratic candidate that meets the DNC’s own debate criteria, which imposes a 2% polling threshold in at least four major polls. At time of publishing, that includes Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Cory Booker (D-NJ), Kamala Harris (D-CA), Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), former Vice President Joe Biden, and Pete Buttigieg, mayor of South Bend, Indiana.
For those that don’t make the cut by then, there is another opportunity. MSNBC said Thursday that it will be the media partner for a Washington, D.C.-based climate forum hosted by Georgetown University and the website Our Daily Planet, set to take place September 19-20. Georgetown University said in a statement that “all declared 2020 presidential candidates from both political parties” have been invited to the event.
