Guardian's climate commitment 2019 | Environment

We will keep a long record of strong environmental reporting known around the world for quality and independence. The Columbia Journalism Review, April 2019, reports that the best daily report on climate change to date is from Guardians covering the scientific, political, economic and health aspects of the world. Clarity. & # 39; We prioritize and stand out the environmental journalism of Guardian and Observer to provide the necessary news and information. Our reports on the environment of international teams are not affected by commercial or political interests and are always rooted in scientific facts.

We will report how environmental disruption already affects people around the world, including natural disasters and extreme weather events. We will be the world's best voice on the climate crisis and address food, travel and lifestyle issues to help our readers live sustainable lives. We will conduct an investigation into the economic and political structures that underpin the carbon economy and examine the role of the climate crisis in many other important issues, including inequality, migration and the fight against scarce resources.

We will use language to recognize the seriousness of the crisis. Guardian styled to introduce terminology that more accurately describes the environmental crisis facing the world in May 2019, using “climate emergency, crisis or failure” and “earth heating” instead of “climate change” and “global warming”. The guide has been updated. We want to communicate clearly with our readers on the urgency of this matter and at the same time make sure that it is scientifically correct.

Guardian will achieve net zero emissions by 2030. We are developing a detailed plan on how to achieve this, including a full audit of emissions. Our priority is to reduce the carbon footprint meaningfully and permanently.

We will be transparent to our progress. We announced today that it has become the first news organization to earn BCorp certification. That means participating in a global business community that is working openly to drive positive social change. This is an important milestone in public transparency and accountability for global environmental footprints.
