To confront the climate crisis, we need reliable information – informed journalism, fearless reporting and trustworthy interpretation. That’s why we need the Guardian.

The Guardian is different. Those differences make it a better news organization when it comes to the climate, including this crucial difference: it doesn’t take money from fossil fuel companies for advertisements, so it’s not running climate stories alongside climate lies from the top destroyers.

The Guardian is different because it was founded more than 200 years ago as a progressive, labor-supporting publication, one whose fairness consisted in being honest and open about its stance. It is still that place.

The Guardian is different in that, with its commitment to making important and accurate information universally available, it has no paywall, but instead depends on readers’ support.

May the Guardian remain different and do its good work for another 200 years.

We’ll be counting on readers like you during this year-end fundraiser to help keep us independent, beholden to no outside influence and accessible to everyone – whether they can afford to pay for news, or not. If you can, please consider supporting us with a year-end gift from $2. Thank you.
