CCNow Basics (2026): The Three Pillars of Climate Reporting

Covering Climate Now hosted an essential training to help you jumpstart your climate coverage, by humanizing, localizing, and “solutionizing” the climate story

Past event: August 12, 2026

Climate change affects everyone, and reporting on it means telling a human story. However, this narrative often gets buried under big scientific terms, distant impacts, lofty gatherings and an excessive dose of doom and gloom. This has left audiences feeling disengaged, overwhelmed, and disheartened.

At Covering Climate Now, we believe there’s a better way. We can tell this story as it is, with its impacts, its human faces, its struggles, and its solutions. With the data and real-world examples from colleagues already making a difference, we’ll show you how.

Watch our training session on CCNow’s Three Pillars approach to climate change journalism: humanize, localize, solution-ize.
