Leading humanitarian news site to take a daily front-line look at how climate change is affecting lives and livelihoods.

LONDON--Climate change is transforming life in the developing world. Shifting weather patterns are bringing more frequent drought and floods, and increasingly severe storms. Rising seas threaten low-lying cities and villages, and melting glaciers may mean too much water, then too little.

Thomson Reuters’ new climate website takes you to climate change’s front line. Combining the news resources of Reuters with on-the-ground reports, analysis and blogs by leading climate thinkers, researchers, policy-makers, business people and aid workers, alertnet.org/climate takes a daily look at how our shifting climate is affecting the lives and livelihoods of the world’s poorest and most vulnerable

Turn to alertnet.org/climate for the latest stories, pictures and video on top climate-related humanitarian issues: adaptation, security, disaster preparedness, health and justice concerns as well as political negotiations. Journalists will also find background briefings, links to key climate reports and other resources to support reporting on climate change and those it affects.

“AlertNet: Climate Change focuses the global warming spotlight where the stakes are highest: not on drowning polar bears or melting icecaps, but on people and what climate change means for everyday lives.” - Stephan Faris, author of Forecast: The Surprising--and Immediate--Consequences of Climate Change

 "AlertNet’s innovative climate change website, which tells the day-in-day-out stories of climate change’s front-line victims, is a great resource for any policymaker or negotiator crafting a policy shift or sharpening a negotiating point.” - Quamrul Chowdhury, lead climate negotiator

Alertnet.org/climate is supported by Com+ , the alliance of communicators for sustainable development
