DESCRIPTION:This is the third event\, part of the series on Climate Journal
 ism.\n\nSeries Overview\n\n“Climate Is Every Story” is a year-long event se
 ries that seeks to foster an ongoing dialogue about covering the climate cr
 isis among leading journalists and Boston College’s faculty and students.\n
 \nThe World Meteorological Organization reported in March 2025 that the pas
 t 10 years on earth have been the hottest 10 years in almost 200 years of r
 ecord-keeping. Which means that right now\, there is no news story bigger t
 han our fast-warming climate. It is global\, geopolitical\, existential\, a
 nd rapidly evolving. Most journalists who cover climate do so as a beat — t
 hey chronicle the persistent rises in global temperatures\, the cascading n
 atural disasters\, the political battles over clean energy and emissions\, 
 and the ever-more-dire United Nations reports. But climate change has seepe
 d into every facet of modern life: How we work\, what we eat\, how we inves
 t\, where we build\, and\, in the case of the most vulnerable\, how we surv
 ive. Which is to say\, it’s outgrown any single journalistic beat. It is in
 extricable now from most disciplines\, from the economy and business develo
 pment to culture\, food systems\, immigration\, and so on. Simply put: Clim
 ate is every beat\; every beat is climate.\n\nAnd yet: Covering the climate
  crisis grows more challenging by the day. Even as climate impacts are spre
 ading\, the media environment is becoming increasingly precarious. Between 
 media layoffs and the proliferation of “news deserts” — or regions without 
 reliable local news sources — it’s getting harder for newsrooms to adequate
 ly cover climate stories. Last summer\, in a survey conducted by the Earth 
 Journalism Network\, 76 percent of environmental journalists reported that 
 their coverage was limited by a lack of resources. The report recommended t
 hat individual journalists “need the support of their newsrooms to speciali
 ze in environmental journalism and break down barriers between beats\, allo
 wing journalists across the organization to cover climate change and its ef
 fects.” \n\nWe know that journalism shapes the decisions of individuals\, c
 ommunities\, companies\, policymakers\, and governments as they navigate an
  uncertain future. And we know that a lack of informed and insightful journ
 alism about climate change has broad-reaching impacts on communities and so
 ciety at large. But we believe that the future of climate journalism is a c
 onversation that reaches far beyond journalists. And we believe Boston Coll
 ege can be a place that both inspires and informs that conversation. \n\nTo
