With daily reports of extreme heat, the time for denial is over. Heatwaves across the northern hemisphere are more alarming evidence of the accelerating levels of climate damage; reminders that people across the world are losing their livelihoods – and lives – due to deadlier and more frequent heatwaves, floods, wildfires and droughts.

Journalism alone won’t reverse our trajectory. But there are three reasons why properly funded independent reporting will help us address it.

1. Quality climate journalism reminds us that this problem is not going away, and must be urgently addressed.
2. Independent journalism that amplifies the latest science, data and studies puts pressure on policymakers to take action.
3. Our work foregrounds solutions that encourage the innovation and investment in new technologies that we so desperately need.

At the Guardian, we have climate reporters stationed around the world. We have renounced advertising from fossil fuel companies and have significantly cut our own carbon emissions.

Help power the Guardian’s journalism for the years to come, whether with a small amount or a larger one.
