The Guardian has organised a global climate leader, with newspapers and media outlets around the world co-publishing an editorial calling for urgent action on the climate crisis.
The piece argues for cooperation on a global level, and calls for a windfall tax on fossil fuel companies, debt relief for the world’s poorest countries and increased spending to tackle the crisis. “This is no time for apathy or complacency” it says. Published today (15 November) by the Guardian and more than 30 other media organisations in over 20 countries, the joint editorial coincides with Cop27’s energy day and other high-level talks, including the G20 Leaders’ Summit.
