Before you send your words.

Do I need to be a climate specialist?

No. Everyone is welcome, including professionals from any field. Every aspect of life connects directly or indirectly to climate. Bring the perspective of your work, community or daily life, explain that connection, and acknowledge sources for wider factual claims.

Can I send an idea rather than a finished article?

Yes. Explain the question, your intended reader, what you want them to understand and how you would explore it. Select “A developed article idea” in the form.

How will I be credited?

Published articles have an agreed byline and author introduction. We can discuss your preferred public name, optional portrait and profile links before publication. Your private email is not part of the credit.

What about images and AI-assisted work?

Acknowledge the original creators and explain what you have permission to use. Disclose relevant AI assistance. Illustrative scenes and AI-generated images must be distinguishable from documentary evidence. Do not share private testimony with an AI service without permission.

Is a submission automatically accepted?

No. We review each submission for fit, clarity, originality, evidence and permissions. We may suggest changes or decline a piece. A delivery confirmation only confirms that your submission reached the email service.

Can I correct or withdraw my submission?

Email [email protected] from the address you used. Include the title or submission reference. Significant factual corrections to published work are explained alongside the updated article.
