10 Best Newsletters for Climate Communicators
If your inbox is anything like ours, it’s a mix of gold dust, good intentions and the occasional unopened ‘read later’ pile-up.
But some newsletters cut through the noise. They inform, energise and offer genuinely useful perspectives for anyone working in climate action comms.
We’ve rounded up 10 of the best – a mix of must-reads, rising stars and under-the-radar gems. Whether you’re deep in policy, campaign planning, or storytelling, these are the ones we actually read, not just subscribe to.
1. Heated by Emily Atkin
A fiercely independent climate newsletter by journalist Emily Atkin, Heated brings accountability journalism with teeth. Think fossil fuel exposés, industry influence investigations and sharp opinion pieces. Perfect for comms pros looking to challenge narratives and speak truth to power.
2. The Climate Coach by The Washington Post
Practical, people-focused and accessible. Michael J. Coren’s newsletter explores how individuals and systems interact with the climate crisis – from behaviour change to sustainable living. Great for translating climate impact into everyday terms.
3. Exponential View by Azeem Azhar
A high-level weekly digest on tech, society and climate. Azeem explores the intersection of innovation, economics and sustainability. It’s big-picture thinking that helps climate communicators zoom out and connect the dots.
4. The Climate Brink by Dr Zeke Hausfather & Dr Andrew Dessler
Clear, science-led perspectives from two heavyweight climate scientists. They cut through misinformation and help you stay sharp on the facts. Excellent for comms teams dealing with scepticism, policy, or scientific storytelling.
5. The Green Fix by Fix the News
A hopeful roundup of climate solutions and progress stories from around the world. Bite-sized and positive without being naive – ideal for those building empowering, action-focused narratives.
6. Volts by David Roberts
Deep dives on clean energy, policy, and political dynamics — especially in the US. David’s style is informed, opinionated and often funny. Great for strategic thinkers and those working at the policy-communications interface.
7. Daily by Canary Media
A daily digest from the non-profit newsroom Canary Media, delivering sharp, independent reporting on the clean energy transition. Expect coverage on solar, wind, batteries, electrification, policy and the business of decarbonisation. Essential for comms professionals who want to stay on top of the latest developments in climate tech and energy innovation.
8. Hot Take Archive (2020–2022)
Now on hiatus, but still a rich back catalogue. This newsletter (by Mary Annaïse Heglar & Amy Westervelt) unpacked media narratives, climate justice and storytelling with sharp analysis and bold opinion. Worth mining for insights.
9. The Frontline by Atmos
The Frontline is Atmos magazine’s climate justice newsletter, curated by journalist Yessenia Funes. It offers powerful storytelling that centres on frontline communities, Indigenous voices, and environmental justice movements. With a blend of activism, culture and climate reporting, it’s essential reading for communicators aiming to amplify under-represented perspectives and craft narratives rooted in equity and resilience.
