Thank you to all the speakers — David Akana (@mongabay.com), @geoffdembicki.bsky.social (@desmog.com), @ninardietz.bsky.social, Jazzmin Jiwa, and @jskoff.bsky.social (@ucberkeleyofficial.bsky.social) — who shared their climate stories at our panel yesterday at the Narrative Change Summit.

CCNow's Mark Hertsgaard introduces the panel and talks about why journalism IS a climate solution.

Jason Spingarn-Koff shares the trailer of his new film, The Coral Rescuers, a follow-up to Chasing Coral.

Geoff Dembicki of Desmog News talks about their year long investigation that revealed letters and copies of checks Exxon mailed to the right-wing Atlas Network in the 1990s to turn Latin America against climate treaties.

Jazzmin Jiwa shared highlights from her award-winning reporting that appeared in Documented. In the course of a year-long investigation, reporters Carla Mandiola and Jazzmin Jiwa spoke with dozens of migrants and analyzed 9 million government immigration records. The 237,000 migrants who have arrived in New York City since 2022 came from near and far, but many share a common backstory of their former homes being rendered unlivable by the many effects of climate change, in particular the collapse of local food systems.

The fact that most people favoring stronger climate action mistakenly believe that they are the minority is a perverse tribute to the effectiveness of the industry’s propaganda. The 89% data tell a decidedly different story.

So this is pretty cool! We're thrilled that the good people at Oatly are amplifying our #89Percent project on their packaging globally. Check it out! 👀

Oatly milk carton with details about the 89% of people who want their leders and governments to take more action on climate change.

Politicians! These eleven words represent people not interested in climate action.  

Meanwhile, the eighty-nine words in this paragraph represent people who want their leaders and governments to take more action on climate change. That means a lot of voters could swing your way if you do just that: Take action! Not that we think you’re only interested in getting votes for whatever reason, no, of course not, we’re just saying that your genuine care for the planet can finally be used for great political wins. Do you find the numbers surprising? Well then, go to 89percent.org and see for yourself.
