"Eco-anxiety, climate doom, environmental existential dread - as green
journalists, we see these terms used a lot - and often feel them ourselves.
While there's a lot to be worried about when it comes to the climate and nature
crises, we must not lose hope - because hopelessness breeds apathy.
The media has an important role to play in combatting climate doom. It's our
job to be truthful and accurate in our reporting, not trying to downplay or
greenwash the situation. But it's also our job to show that there is hope.
In 2023, as part of our ongoing effort to tackle eco-anxiety (both that of our
readers and our own), we kept track of all the positive environmental news
throughout the year. We racked up over 200 stories of eco-innovation, green
breakthroughs and climate wins - more than double the number in 2022 and a sure
sign of momentum.
In 2024, we're confident the good news will keep on coming, as renewable power
soars, vulnerable ecosystems gain rights, and climate protocols start to pay
dividends.
This article will be regularly updated with the latest good news. It may be
something small and local, something silly that made us smile, or something
enormous and potentially world-changing.
If you come across a great, positive story that we haven't covered here -
please reach out to us on Instagram or X to share your ideas."
