Head of Environment, The Guardian

“Final warning.” “Now or never.” “Crazy off-the-charts records.”

As the Guardian’s head of environment, I read the words of climate scientists every day. They tell our reporters the facts, explain the science, and warn of what is to come. But when governments and corporations still don’t act with the urgency required, it feels like words are in danger of losing their power.

As journalists, this is, of course, concerning. Our role is to communicate what is happening, and why it matters, in the public interest. So we will continue to put our climate and nature reporting at the front and centre of everything we do. We have long pioneered this approach – giving our journalism on the living world more space, prominence and resources than any other media organisation. From investigations involving months of painstaking work, to analysing data and documenting the human impact – our journalists will keep covering the climate and nature crisis.

This is only possible through the support of our readers. Our unique ownership model means we are beholden to nobody. But it also means we depend on you.

We all can – and must – do more. So we’ll keep reporting. One thing you can do today is support the Guardian’s journalism. Supporting us doesn’t need to be expensive – you can give once from just £1, or better yet, set up a monthly amount from £2.

… there is a good reason why not to support the Guardian

Not everyone can afford to pay for news right now. That is why we keep our journalism – including our essential reporting on the natural world – open for everyone to read. If this is you, please continue to read for free.

But if you are able to, then there are three good reasons to support us today.

1

Daily environmental journalism is a powerful reminder of the damage being done to wildlife, plants and habitats – and the people impacted and displaced by our changing planet.

2

Independent journalism amplifies the latest science, data and studies, and puts pressure on politicians and businesses to take action.

3

Our work foregrounds solutions that encourage the innovation and investment in new technologies that we so desperately need.

Help power the Guardian’s journalism for the years to come, whether with a small sum or a larger one. If you can, please support us on a monthly basis from just £2. It takes less than a minute to set up, and you can rest assured that you're making a big impact every single month in support of open, independent journalism. Thank you.
