For two decades, the Pulitzer Center has supported journalism that helps audiences understand some of the world's most pressing climate and environmental challenges—from the expansion of data centers and the environmental impacts of artificial intelligence to biodiversity loss, oceans, and the Amazon rainforest. Yet journalism alone is not enough. Lasting change requires bringing together the people and institutions with the power to transform information into action.
This interactive roundtable will explore how environmental journalism can serve as a catalyst for accountability, stronger governance, and cross-sector collaboration. Through compelling engagement and reporting projects supported by the Pulitzer Center, participants will examine how investigative journalism, audience engagement, and community-centered approaches can deepen public understanding, foster dialogue among diverse stakeholders, and inspire collective responses to complex climate challenges.
This session will be designed as a participatory conversation, creating space for journalists, funders, researchers, civil society leaders, policymakers, and the private sector to exchange ideas, share lessons, and identify opportunities for collaboration. By connecting multiple perspectives around evidence-based reporting, the discussion aims to demonstrate how journalism can help build the partnerships and accountability needed to advance more informed and effective climate solutions.
