"The Guardian has long been at the forefront of agenda-setting climate journalism, and in a news cycle dominated by autocrats and war, we refuse to let the health of the planet slip out of sight. We stand out as a media organisation by examining why the climate emergency is creating a new era of demagogues and how powerful governments, financial institutions and big oil companies are turning their back on climate promises."
"Guardian reporters are investigating how money from climate deniers and fossil fuel interests is funding thinktanks linked to far-right groups in Britain and Europe. This is a clear attempt to break down the longstanding consensus over climate science and net zero campaigns. Our reporters hold the corporate enablers of fossil fuel interests to account: from the public affairs firms lobbying on their behalf to water down climate policy to the banks financing carbon bomb projects that will blow through the dwindling carbon budget."
"In these bleak times, it is also crucial to report on the strength of the resistance and the possibility for positive change: the leaders still seeking global solutions, the youth activists who have launched a new campaign to villainise big oil, the taskforce dreaming up radical climate solutions and the campaigns that remind us that the overwhelming majority of people in the world want more ambitious climate action."
Agenda-setting climate journalism keeps planetary health visible amid autocratic rule and war. Reporting links the climate emergency to rising demagoguery and details how governments, financial institutions and oil companies renege on climate commitments. Investigations reveal defunding of climate research, mass dismissals of scientists and restricted access to climate data, and make key reports publicly accessible. Exposés trace fossil-funded networks backing far-right thinktanks and corporate lobbying that weakens policy, including banks financing carbon-intensive projects. Coverage also highlights resistance: global leaders pursuing solutions, youth campaigns targeting big oil, taskforces devising radical fixes, and popular demand for more ambitious climate action. Coverage documents impacts on people and nature and potential responses.
