Covering Climate Now statement on the climate emergency

The statement argues that journalism must treat the climate crisis as an emergency to reflect scientific consensus and encourage immediate action to preserve a livable planet, suggesting the media's response to the Covid-19 pandemic as a model for reporting.

• The statement asserts that the term 'climate emergency' is based on science, citing thousands of scientists and former government advisers from the UK and Germany to justify the urgency of immediate action to prevent the Earth from becoming partially uninhabitable.
