World News Day: The Climate Crisis — we have to talk about it

A record number of newsrooms across the world have joined this year’s World News Day, a global day of action to promote the importance of fact-based journalism.

This year’s focus is a singular one, climate change. Wherever you are in the world, the climate is changing.

We possess a third of the world’s fresh water, mountains and three oceans to our west, north and east.
