The Centre for Climate Reporting is a not-for-profit investigative journalism organisation focused on the biggest story of our time: climate change.
Multinational corporations, high net worth individuals, populist movements, petrostates – across the world, powerful forces are obstructing efforts to tackle climate change and threaten even democracy itself.
Through bold, cross-border investigative reporting, our mission is to uncover how these actors build and wield political power – to hold them to account.
To ensure that these stories reach as wide an audience as possible, we partner and collaborate with the world’s most respected media organisations.
We report without fear or favour and are committed to rigorous, fair, public interest journalism.
