Stuff joins over 60 global news outlets taking strong stance on climate change coverage
The world's media are taking a strong stance on climate change coverage . Covering Climate Change is bringing together over 60 media organisations around the world, including Stuff , to reframe climate change coverage. The initiative - spearheaded by The Guardian, Columbia Journalism Review and The Nation - encompasses a range of television and radio stations, newspapers, websites, and magazine publications that will culminate for a week of high-profile coverage in the lead up to the 2019 Climate Action Summit on September 23. " Stuff's aim is to make the realities of climate change feel urgent, tangible and unignorable for New Zealanders. We see this international media push as a sign of the scale and universality of the challenge," Stuff editor in chief Patrick Crewdson said.

A number of institutions and independent journalists are also in the fold, these include Boston University, Getty Images and Climate Nexus. In New Zealand, Stuff has helped bring the climate change conversation to the fore with the development of the project, Quick! Save the Planet . Launched as a way to disturb the collective complacency that has evolved in relation to climate change, the long-term project produces thought-provoking pieces and shines a light on the dangers and looming threats climate change presents in New Zealand and around the world. "The project accepts a statement that shouldn't be controversial, but somehow still is: climate change is real and caused by human activity," Crewdson wrote when the project was announced in November 2018. In 2015, Stuff joined 24 global media organisations in the Climate Publishing Network to publish climate change stories ahead of the United Nations summit.
