Centre for Climate Reporting

Yesterday we published a major undercover investigation into Project 2025. The story led CNN, was picked by the New York Times, Washington Post, MSNBC, New York Magazine and many more. The Harris Walz campaign put out a statement in response and aired footage from the investigation at the DNC. It's the first story in a new CCR project investigating populist and far-right movements around the world. Much effort rightly goes into holding the fossil fuel industry to account over climate obstruction, but these movements pose as much of a threat, if not greater.
