‘Survival and science’—our fight against climate silence

Columbia Journalism Review: ‘Survival and science’—our fight against climate silence.

IN 2019, in an effort to combat climate silence, CJR and The Nation, in partnership with The Guardian, founded Covering Climate Now, a global journalism collaborative aimed at strengthening coverage of the climate emergency. Two years later, Covering Climate Now partners publish coverage of the climate crisis to two billion readers.

On this week’s Kicker, Mark Hertsgaard, the executive director of Covering Climate Now and the environment correspondent for The Nation, and Katrina vanden Heuvel, editorial director and publisher of The Nation, join Kyle Pope, editor and publisher of CJR. They discuss what they’ve learned about how to tell climate crisis stories that land with impact; how the scientific weight of covid-19 coverage can further climate coverage; and why covering the climate crisis is journalism, not advocacy.

From extractive to regenerative: experts highlight benefits of nature-based climate solutions

The Narwhal: From extractive to regenerative: experts highlight benefits of nature-based climate solutions. Panelists across the country shared success stories during The Narwhal’s online event on the role of Canada’s natural landscapes in the fight against climate change.

Canada’s forests, wetlands, grasslands and farmlands stole the show during a live panel discussion hosted online by The Narwhal on Tuesday.

“The natural landscape contains a vast amount of carbon and by cutting down trees and digging up wetlands, we’re releasing that carbon,” The Narwhal’s editor-in-chief Emma Gilchrist said during her opening remarks.

The event, which drew more than 1,000 live attendees, offered a look behind the scenes of The Narwhal’s Carbon Cache series on the role of nature-based solutions in addressing the climate crisis — an approach the Canadian government committed $3.9 billion toward in the fall 2020 economic statement.
