Here are a few environment-specific news sources offered by New York Times Opinion writer Margaret Renkl that you can follow to learn what’s happening at every level. These organizations are capturing local and regional news about climate and environmental justice that often flies under the national radar.

Canary Media. This nonprofit focuses on the transition to renewable energy across the globe — and across industries like transportation and electrification. It provides not just news but also informed analysis of the effectiveness of green technology.

Inside Climate News. An award-winning nonprofit source of nonpartisan climate reporting with a growing list of local bureaus, it is very nearly a one-stop shop for climate journalism.

Grist. Highlighting climate solutions and climate justice, Grist works “to show that a just and sustainable future is within reach.”

Orion. Though it is not a publication for hard news reporting or the dissemination of breaking news, the large-format literary journal is a resource for writing about the natural world.

Substack. For more first-person writing, reporting, and opinion, it’s worth checking out its most popular climate newsletters.

Yale Climate Connections. A project of the Yale Center for Environmental Communication, this nonprofit news site focuses on climate news and personal actions that can lead to climate solutions. It also produces a brief radio program that airs each day on local stations around the country. Its sister site, the Yale Program on Climate Change Communication, is an important source of news about what people know about the climate, as well as their attitudes toward everything from climate politics and policy to climate impacts and potential solutions.
