About us

We deliver original journalism that informs and inspires action to tackle the global climate crisis.

We do this by:

• Reporting and analysing major developments in international climate action

• Exploring tensions between competing interests and values

• Exposing wrongdoing or obstruction and holding power to account

• Amplifying the voices of those hardest hit by the climate crisis

• Highlighting transformative action from across society and the economy

Vision

Climate change is the biggest story of our time.

Climate Home News aims to be the go-to media outlet for a global community of doers and thinkers seeking to understand the political, social and economic drivers of the climate crisis and climate action.

Values

1. Collaboration: We are open, honest and responsive in our communication, understanding how our roles and responsibilities fit together, while recognising that as a small organisation we all have to pitch in sometimes.
2. Rigour: We uphold our reputation as a trusted source of information by checking facts carefully and asking the right questions, while treating readers, sources and colleagues with respect.
3. International outlook: We source stories from around the world, including underreported regions and multilateral forums, to serve a global readership.
4. Integrity: We uphold the independence of our editorial and tell the stories that need to be told, without fear or favour.
5. Originality: We take the initiative and find stories others miss.
6. Supportiveness: We are open-minded and seek to learn from each other as we take on new challenges. We seek out partners with whom we can form mutually beneficial partnerships.
7. Ambition: The urgency of the climate crisis demands that we all bring energy and focus to fulfilling our mission.
