The notion of journalism as a public service is under assault. And nowhere is that more evident than in the retreat from climate coverage. Reporting on climate takes patience, in the newsroom and from the audience. But it's critical, and newsrooms who care about serving their readers do it anyway.

So while it’s important that journalists write about the problems causing the climate crisis, it’s also important to “put a spotlight on the millions of people from every walk of life who are rolling up their sleeves and already taking action,” says Anthony Leiserowitz.
