In a world where information is often hidden behind paywalls or cluttered with ads, there's a newsroom that's doing things differently.

A Nonprofit Newsroom

Inside Climate News (ICN) is a nonprofit organization that provides free access to its climate and environmental news. They don't charge subscription fees or bombard readers with advertisements. Instead, they focus on delivering vital information to as many people as possible.

Collaboration and Reach

ICN doesn't just stop at publishing news. They also share their content with other media organizations that can't afford to do environmental journalism on their own. This collaboration helps spread important stories far and wide.

  • Bureaus all over the country
  • Reporting local stories
  • Working with local newsrooms to co-publish articles

A Growing Impact

Started by two individuals in 2007, ICN has grown to become the oldest and largest dedicated climate newsroom in the nation. They cover the complex story of climate change, hold polluters accountable, and expose environmental injustices. They also work to debunk misinformation and scrutinize solutions, inspiring action among their readers.

Funded by Readers

The work of ICN is funded by donations from readers. These contributions support their ongoing reporting on the biggest crisis facing our planet. They encourage readers to make tax-deductible donations to help them reach even more people in more places.
