Climate Week NYC (Sept. 23 to 29) coincides with the United Nations Climate Action Summit. Covering Climate Now, a CJR project, has 170+ news outlets signed on. Plus, September 25 marks the release of the IPCC Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate, authored by more than 100 scientists from more than 30 countries. To support your storytelling—for these events and beyond—we’ve pulled together a celebration of local climate change reporting. Here’s what you’ll find:
Whether you’re new to covering climate or are a seasoned pro, we hope this collection will inspire and continue to be a resource going forward. Also, on Thursday, September 19 at 11 am ET, we are hosting a special webinar with Chris Forest of Penn State and Project Drawdown, and Allen Arthur of Solutions Journalism to talk about climate change solutions and how to cover them. Thanks to you, our media partners, Climate Matters has grown considerably over the last few years--both in participants and the number of stories being told in local communities around the U.S. Our program now includes 780 TV meteorologists and 260 journalists. We could not do this without you! The whole Climate Matters team would like to thank you. Cheers, Bernadette and Sean Bernadette Woods Placky Sean Sublette |
