Covering Climate Solutions

As part of a special report focused on covering climate solutions, we take closer looks at nature-based, ocean-based and methane/energy-based solutions, with special tipsheets and toolboxes. In coming weeks, we'll also look at sustainable-business solutions. Check out the latest, below, and stay tuned for more.

 

 

Nature-Based Solutions Tipsheet

• Environmental Reporting Through an Indigenous Perspective

Indigenous communities that have tried to live in balance with nature have seen their practices largely ignored. But now many have turned to them for guidance. As part of a special initiative from the Society of Environmental Journalists on covering climate solutions, we offer a tipsheet from journalist Brian Bull on reporting on how Indigenous people use nature-based environmental solutions. Also, watch video from an earlier webinar.

Nature-Based Solutions Toolbox

• Climate Solutions: Nature-Based and Native/Indigenous Perspectives

As concerns over global warming, the endangerment of plant and animal species, and water rights escalate, many environmentalists are turning to Indigenous people for guidance. We take a closer look at resources for covering nature-based solutions and Indigenous people with reporter Brian Bull.

Methane Solutions Tipsheet

• Methane, a Key Global Warming Source, Is Targeted by Nations

​Carbon dioxide may get more attention, but the second-most damaging greenhouse gas, methane, is now the focus of a global pledge to cut emissions 30% by 2030. ​​As part of a Society of Environmental Journalists publishing project focused on covering climate solutions, we take a closer look at methane with energy reporter Nushin Huq. A primer on the climate-related problems of methane and the promise of methane-based solutions. Plus, watch the recording of an SEJ virtual webinar, Covering Climate Solutions: Containing and Monitoring Methane.

Methane Solutions Toolbox

• Climate Solutions: Methane and Climate Change Toolbox

Levels of methane, a potent greenhouse gas, have doubled in the past 150 years due to human activity, particularly from fossil fuels and extensive farming. As part of an ongoing Society of Environmental Journalists special project focused on covering climate solutions, check out a methane resource toolbox.

Ocean Solutions Tipsheet

• Reporting Ocean Stories Is Key to Blue Literacy, Planetary Health

​As part of a Society of Environmental Journalists publishing project focused on covering climate solutions, we take a closer look at ocean-based solutions. In this special tipsheet, ocean scientist and science writer Juli Berwald offers a primer on the climate-related challenges and possibilities in the global ocean’s physics, chemistry and biology. Plus, watch a recent SEJ ocean solutions webinar.

Ocean Solutions Toolbox

• Climate Solutions: Ocean and Climate Change Toolbox

Oceans and climate change intersect with many other issues, a crossover likely to be emphasized in the upcoming United Nations Ocean Conference and in future ocean-based climate discussions. This list of resources reflects some of that intersection in order to help environmental journalists better cover the field of “blue climate” solutions.
