The Climate Media Centre provides a full suite of communications support – free of charge in the main – to the climate movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2015, we\u2019ve found, trained and supported more than 5000 diverse voices who have unique expertise to speak on critical climate policy debates. As a trusted communications advisor to the media, we intervene at strategic media moments to seed positive narratives and tackle harmful ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Climate Media Centre localises and personalises climate change impacts and solutions for Australians. We connect journalists with powerful stories about people and places affected now, as well as inspiring yarns of those taking action to fix things. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
