Dear friend,
We’re writing because we know you believe in the value of climate change journalism, especially at a time when the free press is under attack and climate misinformation runs rampant. Covering Climate Now shares your commitment. But supporting and elevating our partners and their work takes more than shared values — it takes resources.
Like much of the rest of the nonprofit sector, Covering Climate Now is feeling the pinch from decreased funding, especially for work related to the climate crisis.
That’s why today, we’re launching a summer-long fundraising campaign — and asking you to become a founding sustaining donor — to help our team keep climate on the news agenda. We do that by:
-
Training journalists, from Texas to Tokyo, in outlets big and small
-
Equipping journalists with story leads, expert sources, and reporting resources, in English and Spanish
-
Organizing innovative coverage initiatives — such as our ongoing 89 Percent Project, which spotlights the broad global consensus around climate action
-
Defining standards of excellence in climate journalism, through our hugely successful annual awards program
-
Shifting the public climate conversation, toward solutions, justice, and the tangible local and human impacts of both climate change and government action and inaction
Every dollar helps. Your sustaining donation will help us maintain a monthly revenue stream we can count on. We’re equally appreciative of one-time gifts.
Donate now and help us spread the word! Thank you for your dedication to climate journalism and your support of our community.
With gratitude,
Mark Hertsgaard and Kyle Pope
