Las mejores prcticas para el periodismo climtico

The document outlines a set of professional standards for climate journalism, emphasizing the need to connect climate causes to news stories, avoid false balance by excluding climate deniers, and integrate climate perspectives across all reporting beats. It advocates for humanizing stories through local perspectives, highlighting climate justice for marginalized and indigenous groups, and reporting on a diverse range of solutions beyond just technology. Additionally, it warns journalists against 'greenwashing' and misinformation from powerful interests, while advising on the use of appropriate imagery and the importance of mental health care for reporters covering traumatic climate impacts.

• Journalists are encouraged to integrate climate coverage into all reporting specialties, as global temperature increases affect diverse areas including politics, business, health, housing, education, food, national security, entertainment, and sports.
• Effective climate reporting should explicitly link events to their causes—primarily the burning of oil, gas, and coal—and their consequences, such as sea level rise, storms, droughts, and extreme heatwaves.
• The guide advises against providing a platform to climate deniers in the name of 'balance,' stating that in 2023 there is no good-faith argument against climate science.
• Reporting should prioritize climate justice by including the voices of marginalized groups and indigenous peoples, who are often the first and worst affected by climate impacts but also act as environmental protectors and innovators.
• Journalists should report on a comprehensive range of solutions—including political, economic, and cultural ones, in addition to technological solutions like solar and wind energy—to avoid overwhelming the audience with negative narratives.
