Issues such as potential solutions to climate change and environmental justice too often are undercovered by news outlets. But new series launched by NBC News, The Guardian and The Washington Post aimed to tackle these issues with the depth they deserve and pointed the way toward journalism that tells broader stories about the climate crisis.

NBC News created a new unit dedicated to covering the climate crisis on a global scale

In September, NBC News, MSNBC, Telemundo, and NBC News Digital debuted a new climate unit that reported for a weeklong series called “Climate in Crisis.” Starting September 15, this unit covered how climate change has harmed Greenland, how the Trump administration ignored its own research showing climate change fueling Central American migration, and how scientists from Iceland have pioneered cutting-edge carbon capture and storage methods.

The Guardian launched “Our Unequal Earth,” a yearlong series on environmental justice

In October, The Guardian hired a dedicated environmental justice reporter, Nina Lakhani, for its U.S. edition and launched a yearlong series titled “Our Unequal Earth” to investigate “how ecological hazards and climate disasters have the harshest impacts on people of color, native tribes and those on low incomes.”

The series has published stories about how Alaskans are working to save the Tongass National Forest, how one of the largest urban farming movements in the country is improving the lives of residents in Cleveland, Ohio, and how the indigenous tribes of South Dakota are struggling with the negative health consequences of environmental racism.

The Washington Post highlighted potential solutions to the climate crisis with “Climate Solutions”

With its new series, “Climate Solutions,” The Washington Post has dedicated its considerable journalistic resources, including “strong reporting and writing as well as striking photography, videography and graphics,” to telling stories about “individuals, companies and other organizations that are exploring ways to address our most significant environmental problems.”

Launched in November, the series has already tackled how green initiatives in Denmark may enable Copenhagen to become the first carbon-neutral city by 2025, how scientists are taking radical approaches to growing and planting new coral in reef structures in Florida and the Caribbean, and how an Israeli company is working to revolutionize recycling.
