CNO’s team of climate experts and journalists have done just that, highlighting the economic, human rights and public health impacts of global warming. With an audience of more than 7 million people over the last year, CNO covers issues and challenges associated with climate such as public health, disinformation, corporate overreach and environmental justice. Our podcast, Race Against Climate Change, was a finalist for the CJF ‘Best Climate Solution Reporting’ award. In earlier years, our reporting has received more than 50 honours and awards, primarily for investigative work. Our subscribers include the Government of Canada, universities, libraries and civil society organizations as well as thousands of individuals and foundations who make our journalism possible. 

With a full-time staff of 20, we work with dozens of freelance writers, photographers, videographers and reporters representing every province and territory in Canada. Our columnists include some of the most important voices in Canada on climate change and our newsletters, Zero Carbon, and The Weekly, have been praised widely as the best climate newsletters in the country.
