Why scientists are (or are not) committed to climate change

We were wrong.

When we created Reporterre In 2013, we thought that the ecological issue lacked media coverage.

We said to ourselves that it would be enough for the population and political decision-makers to be informed, for newspapers and television channels to take up the subject, for things to move.

We know today that we were wrong.

In France and around the world, the overwhelming majority of media is now in the hands of the ultra-rich.

The IPCC reports are discussed between two advertisements for SUVs.

Climate skeptics are in power in many democracies.

We know today that the ecological emergency does not need the press. : it needs a press independent of any economic pressure.

Chez Reporterrefor 11 years we have chosen free, ad-free journalism.

Our non-profit structure, without shareholders or billionaire owners, allows us to investigate freely. No one edits what we publish.

But this work comes at a cost.

That of the salaries of our 26 journalists and employees.

That of reports carried out on the ground, as close as possible to the struggles.

The one of the hundreds of thousands of newsletters sent each week to keep you informed.

In 2023, 39,257 donors supported Reporterre : these donations represent 98% of our income.

From the most modest to the most important, they are the guarantors of serious and independent journalistic work, capable of advancing the ecological cause.

Whatever your means, we work for you.

Together we can take action.

If you can, choose to support us monthly, starting from just €1. It takes less than two minutes, and you will have a strong impact every month in favor of independent journalism dedicated to ecology. Thank you.

I support Reporterre
