 eeks to foster an ongoing dialogue about covering the climate crisis among 
 leading journalists and Boston College’s faculty and students.\n\nThe World
  Meteorological Organization reported in March 2025 that the past 10 years 
 on earth have been the hottest 10 years in almost 200 years of record-keepi
 ng. Which means that right now\, there is no news story bigger than our fas
 t-warming climate. It is global\, geopolitical\, existential\, and rapidly 
 evolving. Most journalists who cover climate do so as a beat — they chronic
 le the persistent rises in global temperatures\, the cascading natural disa
 sters\, the political battles over clean energy and emissions\, and the eve
 r-more-dire United Nations reports. But climate change has seeped into ever
 y facet of modern life: How we work\, what we eat\, how we invest\, where w
 e build\, and\, in the case of the most vulnerable\, how we survive. Which 
 is to say\, it’s outgrown any single journalistic beat. It is inextricable 
 now from most disciplines\, from the economy and business development to cu
 lture\, food systems\, immigration\, and so on. Simply put: Climate is ever
 y beat\; every beat is climate.\n\nAnd yet: Covering the climate crisis gro
 ws more challenging by the day. Even as climate impacts are spreading\, the
  media environment is becoming increasingly precarious. Between media layof
 fs and the proliferation of “news deserts” — or regions without reliable lo
 cal news sources — it’s getting harder for newsrooms to adequately cover cl
 imate stories. Last summer\, in a survey conducted by the Earth Journalism 
 Network\, 76 percent of environmental journalists reported that their cover
 age was limited by a lack of resources. The report recommended that individ
 ual journalists “need the support of their newsrooms to specialize in envir
 onmental journalism and break down barriers between beats\, allowing journa
 lists across the organization to cover climate change and its effects.” \n\
 nWe know that journalism shapes the decisions of individuals\, communities\
 , companies\, policymakers\, and governments as they navigate an uncertain 
 future. And we know that a lack of informed and insightful journalism about
  climate change has broad-reaching impacts on communities and society at la
 rge. But we believe that the future of climate journalism is a conversation
  that reaches far beyond journalists. And we believe Boston College can be 
 a place that both inspires and informs that conversation. \n\nTo read stori
