Sharing Library
We facilitate content sharing between our partners, free of charge, because the climate story deserves as wide an audience as possible.
Covering Climate Now’s Sharing Library is a password-protected database of climate stories published and contributed by news outlet partners. As part of CCNow’s mission to increase the visibility of our partners’ climate coverage, the Sharing Library provides access to journalism available exclusively to partners for republication and re-broadcast.

Print, audio, photo, and video pieces are welcomed in all styles. If you’re looking to share content but not yet a partner, Join Us. If you are a partner news outlet interested in contributing or republishing content, reach out to partners@coveringclimatenow.org.
