From climate change to deforestation and plastic pollution, media coverage is critical to shining a light on our planet’s biggest environmental challenges — and even more so now as experts are pointing to connections between biodiversity loss and the spread of infectious diseases like COVID-19. A panel of professional journalists will discuss what the media gets right — and wrong — when covering contentious environmental topics, as well as new developments that may spell change on the horizon.
