From record-breaking heatwaves to prolonged droughts to migration crises and even production declines, our changing climate impacts all aspects of society.
What role can journalists play in ensuring that climate reporting doesn’t only cover “what is” but “what can be”? What role can concrete solutions-based coverage play in responding to this crisis? In the lead-up to COP26 on October 31, this panel explored the importance of climate solutions journalism in sharing valuable knowledge and lessons learned from academics, news leaders, and local communities.
Featured speakers Jonathan Watts, climate editor at The Guardian, Linda Solomon Wood, CEO and editor-in-chief at Canada’s National Observer, Mike De Souza, Managing Editor at The Narwhal, Laura Lynch, host of CBC’s What on Earth, and Blair Feltmate, climatologist and professor at the University of Waterloo, were in conversation with Fatima Syed, journalist at The Narwhal.

Featured speakers Karen Attiah, columnist with The Washington Post, Wendy Gillis, crime and police reporter for the Toronto Star, and Adrian Harewood, host of CBC News Ottawa at 6, are in conversation with Anna Maria Tremonti, host of the CBC podcast More.
