Support climate change reporting in Pittsburgh…

The story of climate change — its effects and the search for solutions — is a global one, but PublicSource’s forthcoming project aims to make the defining issue feel local, relatable and accessible to the Pittsburgh area. PublicSource will publish 14 climate-focused stories as part of #CoveringClimateNow, a collaboration of more than 250 media outlets from around the world.

By increasing the visibility of climate coverage, PublicSource will be giving the climate story the attention and prominence that scientists have long said it demands. Our reporting aims to equip local residents with the information they need to take action.

We have five weeks to raise $5,000. The focused reporting will publish between Sept. 16 and Sept. 26. The timing is not incidental: On Sept. 23, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres will host the landmark international Climate Action Summit in New York.

PublicSource knows from our reader surveys that coverage of the environment is of paramount importance to Pittsburghers. Please pitch in with a gift of $35, $50 or more on our crowdfunding page of local partner Ioby to support this vital project.
