30 journalists embody the struggle for freely reported environmental coverage, facing obstruction, threats, arrest, and violence.
From Cambodia to the Amazon, and from France to Egypt, journalists covering natural resource stories are often persecuted. Reporters Without Borders (RSF) highlights 30 cases of persecuted journalists in the past year for covering environmental issues.
Our goal: to leave no breach of freedom of information unreported.
In light of COP30, starting on November 10 in Belém, Brazil, RSF calls on governments to defend reliable reporting and its actors in the fight against climate change.
RSF publishes daily reports, investigations, and a world press freedom ranking from its regional offices and network of correspondents in 115 countries.
