Support Earth.Org’s Journalism on International Day for Climate Action

Dear Earth.Org Readers,

Today is the International Day of Climate Action, a critical reminder that we are at a global tipping point. While engineers work on clean energy and policymakers debate treaties, we often forget that the most powerful engine for change is information.

That is why we are appealing to our readers: to sustain the factual, independent journalism that is necessary to turn awareness into action.

The climate crisis is complex, urgent, and often shrouded in misinformation and overwhelming data. As an independent journalistic platform and registered charity, Earth.Org’s mission is simple: to cut through the noise and provide clear, credible journalism that empowers people to demand change.

Without strong, independent environmental journalism, the most urgent stories go untold, and the biggest polluters operate without accountability.

The Journalism Your Contribution Directly Supports

Earth.Org collaborates with dozens of NGO partners, amplifying their voices through our NGO Newswire to provide stories from the frontlines of climate justice and conservation. Meanwhile, our network of professional photographers help us document the crisis through powerful images. And through Kids.Earth.Org, we strive to educate younger generations on the climate crisis, provide material for parents and educators, and work directly with schools from around the world to raise awareness and promote environmental education. 

Over recent months, we have covered the rise to power of Donald Trump, and how his administration has dismantled climate protections and reversed climate policy, one step at the time. We have also looked at how social media platforms, energy companies, investment firms, airlines, banks and even philanthropic organizations have backtracked on their environmental pledges to fall in line with Trump’s anti-climate agenda.

Amidst rampant climate disinformation, we work hard to ensure ethical coverage of outright lies and falsities around the climate crisis, which risk harming millions of people. This story debunking Joe Rogan’s false claims on global warming is a great example of how we do it.

We have reported on the impact that rising temperatures and greenhouse gas emissions are having on critical ecosystems such as the world’s coral reefs. And we have showcased exclusive photographic reporting from Mayotte, where rising sea temperatures are resulting in large-scale bleaching.

We remain committed to humanizing the climate crisis. For example, we have looked at how extreme heat is disproportionately affecting people around the world, from women in Ghana to outdoor workers in Hong Kong.

This summer, we covered the International Court of Justice’s landmark advisory opinion on the responsibilities of states in respect of climate change, spoke with the young activists behind the ruling, and gathered reactions. We are also closely following other key climate litigation cases that have the potential to change the course of climate justice forever.

Our Book Review section boasts new reviews every month and you can find exclusive interviews with book authors on our YouTube channel.

And as the year’s most important climate summit, COP30, approaches, we are delighted to announce that Earth.Org’s Book Reviewer and Author Jan Lee will be on the ground to help us report on the most important developments.

We couldn’t do all this without our hundreds of volunteer contributing writers and our readers’ support.

Safeguard Climate Journalism, Keep Earth.Org Free for All

While attracting up to a million viewers each month, only a very small fraction supports us financially. And it is exactly the support of a small circle of donors that enables us to keep Earth.Org freely accessible to anyone who seeks reliable environmental information.

This Earth Day, consider making a one-off or monthly donation. By becoming our Patron, you empower us to invest in long-term, trusted journalism during this critical time. Journalism is expensive, but supporting us needn’t be. For the price of a weekly coffee, you can join us in the fight against greenwashing and climate denialism.
