Climate Change Writers brings together writers from more than a hundred countries to raise awareness of how climate change affects daily life, amplify the voices of the people it hits hardest, and press for action.
Most contributors are researchers, students, farmers, teachers and campaigners rather than professional journalists. Joining is free, with no application, fee or minimum experience, and writers may use a pen name.

Local livelihoods across communities
Farmers, teachers and campaigners write about how climate change touches their communities and incomes, putting local voices on record.
Biodiversity protection
Stories and weekly theme areas draw attention to species and habitats under pressure.
