This Earth Day, as we stand on the brink of a planetary emergency, we invite our readers to join us in a crucial endeavor: supporting Earth.Org’s independent, non-profit environmental journalism.
—
At a time when vested interests, corporations, and even governments spread climate misinformation and engage in greenwashing, the need for accurate information becomes the first battle in the fight against the climate crisis.
It is only through independent, impartial, trusted journalism that we can uncover the truth. But Earth.Org needs your support to continue this vital work.
Earth.org is a registered charity run by a small, dedicated team on a shoestring budget in Hong Kong. We are committed to delivering timely reporting, original features, and insightful interviews on the most critical topics facing our planet.
At a time when qualified voices are being drowned out by climate denialists, we strive to spotlight climate scientists, conservation NGOs, ethnic minorities, indigenous peoples, and climate movements.
Free-To-Access, Trusted, Original Climate Reporting
We collaborate with dozens of NGO partners, amplifying their voices through our NGO Newswire to provide stories from the frontlines of climate change 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 the past month alone, we have published exclusive interviews with Prof. Johan Rockström, one of the leading voices of Earth science, and representatives from the Fridays for Future US chapter about their global strike to demand climate action and justice for all. We have reported on the impact that rising temperatures and greenhouse gas emissions are having on critical ecosystems such as the Amazon Rainforest and Australia’s iconic Great Barrier Reef. And we have showcased exclusive photographic reporting from Antarctica, where an unprecedented outbreak of avian flu is decimating seal populations, and Rwanda, as we documented the last remaining Mountain Gorillas.
We are also looking at how climate change is shaping elections around the world in what has been dubbed “a pivotal year for democracy,” and have scrutinized candidates’ green agendas from Pakistan to the United Kingdom.
Last week, we covered the landmark victory of a group of Swiss elderly women at the European Court of Human Rights and we are closely following other key climate litigation cases that have the potential to change the course of climate justice forever.
We have also been following developments in climate finance, monitoring the progress on the operationalization of the Loss and Damage fund since its historic establishment at COP27.
We couldn’t do all this without our readers’ support.
