The Solutions Journalism Network (SJN) launched the Climate Peer Network in August 2023 to provide a regular opportunity for journalists to discuss and share best practices on climate solutions reporting and to learn from experts on key climate topics. Now, we’re extending the pilot into an integral part of our climate work. And we’d love you to join. If you’re a...
The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine today praised the American Medical Association for adopting a new policy on June 11, 2024, at the Annual Meeting of the AMA House of Delegates that “recognizes that animal-based agriculture is a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions and supports efforts to increase and promote plant-based menu options in...
NASA joined more than 20 federal agencies in releasing its updated Climate Adaptation Plan Thursday, helping expand the Biden-Harris Administration’s efforts to make federal operations increasingly resilient to the impacts of climate change for the benefit of all.

The second of NASA’s PREFIRE (Polar Radiant Energy in the Far-InfraRed Experiment) two satellites is communicating with ground controllers after launching at 3:15 p.m. NZST, Wednesday (11:15 p.m. EDT, June 4). Data from these two shoebox-size cube satellites, or CubeSats, will better predict how Earth’s ice, seas, and weather will change in a warming world —...
Originally published by Schellman. On February 23, 2024, ISO (along with the International Accreditation Federation (IAF)) published short amendments to all standards aligned with its Harmonized Structure. In the form of new requirement language and one additional note, ISO has now adapted climate change concerns as considerations for a wide range of popular...
The first of a pair of climate satellites designed to study heat emissions at Earth’s poles for NASA is in orbit after lifting off atop Rocket Lab’s Electron rocket from the company’s Launch Complex 1 in Māhia, New Zealand at 7:41 p.m. NZST (3:41 a.m. EDT) on Saturday. The agency’s PREFIRE (Polar Radiant Energy in the Far-InfraRed Experiment) mission consists of two...
“Advancing NASA’s Earth science for the benefit of humanity means delivering actionable science in ways that are useful to people, organizations, and communities. The rapid changes we’re witnessing on our home planet demand this strategy to meet the urgency of the moment,” said Karen St. Germain, director of the Earth Science Division of NASA’s Science Mission...
Climate is a core focus at the Solutions Journalism Network as our organization leads a global shift in journalism centered on what the news misses most often: how people are trying to solve problems and what we can learn from their successes or failures. To that end, SJN is placing an increased emphasis on helping others advance solutions practice through innovative...
