At Climate Tracker, we want to support better climate journalism around the world. To achieve that, our core values include:
Empowerment: Our mission is to support journalists who can’t otherwise get the support they need to produce great stories. We aim to create a platform for great storytellers to reach national audiences with climate stories that matter. We also aim to create a work environment that empowers our team, so that they can better support others.
Trust: We trust our journalists to tell stories that match their local audiences. We also trust our team to work remotely, in a task-based manner that works for them.
Diversity: Climate change is a global story and we need global storytellers. Its impacts are felt everywhere, but everyone is impacted differently. Our staff will always be representative of the communities we serve.
Equality: All of our team members are paid the same, regardless of their location. So are all of our journalism fellows. are c We offer benefits that can be customised based on what our team members want. When one person does well, we all succeed.
We believe that young journalists are critical influencers in the global climate debate. The climate crisis is a global communications challenge that needs to be told with local audiences in mind. Investing in young journalists to tell accurate, informative, human stories, is one of our most powerful tools in shaping the global climate debate. It is also an investment that can help shape national climate conversations for years to come.
Climate change is a global issue, and many journalists and newsrooms report on it incredibly well. However, there are too many powerful stories being untold, and too many young journalists who don’t receive the support they deserve. Our fellowships and training is most valuable in languages and geographies where this kind of support isn’t easy to find.

Our work is always focussed on supporting better stories for local audiences. To do that, we need to be able to better understand national media trends and support powerful local journalists to tell stories that resonate. Supporting better climate stories, also means supporting a broader range of storytellers.
