The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald have joined a global network of 25 media organisations to share their stories on climate change.

The initiative is coordinated by the Global Editors Network and provides an innovative network of information ahead of the United Nations Climate Change Summit (#COP21) in Paris later this year.

The Climate Publishing Network (CPN) will provide a mutual syndication of articles related to climate change. Each media organisation will be able to re-publish material from other members of the network without having to worry about licence fees.

The founding partners represent a variety of political leanings - from China Daily in China to Politiken​ in Denmark, from Al Ahram in Egypt to Clarin​ in Argentina – and are based all over the world: Africa, Asia, North America, South America, Europe and the Middle East.

The network was brought together by The Guardian, El Pais and the Global Editors Network and ends on December 11 – the final day of the UN Climate Change Summit.

Ricardo Kirschbaum​, the president of the Global Editors Network, invited more publishers to join the syndicate: "We very much hope that publications across the political spectrum will join us either in using some of our material or, ideally, offering their own material as well."
