Preferred topics include climate finance, carbon markets, the energy transition and supply chains, human rights impacts of climate solutions, land use conflict, loss and damage, corporate greenwash, climate diplomacy, and geopolitics. Stories should be timely, relevant to an international audience, and feature compelling characters or tensions between interest groups.
