Climate Frontline Toolkit: Printable Field Guides to help journalists prepare for climate hazards

Get access to practical tools to prepare before, report during and follow communities after climate hazards.

How can journalism help communities before, during and after climate hazards—not only while they unfold?

The Climate Frontline Reporting Toolkit is our answer. 

The toolkit comes as a practical package: one comprehensive reporting toolkit accompanied by four printable Field Guides - each designed to support a different stage of climate hazard reporting. It distils a year of collaboration with journalists, scientists, emergency responders and communities into practical guidance for reporting on climate hazards before, during and after.

Built through workshops, listening sessions and field experience, it offers newsrooms practical ways to strengthen preparedness, build trust and report with communities throughout the full emergency cycle.

Designed for newsrooms, not bookshelves

Throughout the toolkit, you'll find dozens of practical prompts like this, alongside newsroom exercises, checklists, reporting frameworks and discussion questions developed directly from the experiences of journalists and communities living with floods, droughts, wildfires and extreme heat.

Whether you're preparing coverage ahead of wildfire season, verifying information during a flood or returning months later to ask communities "What changed?", we hope these Field Guides become something you return to - not something that sits unread on your desktop.
