The Centre for Climate Reporting is a non-profit investigative journalism outlet that focuses on stories surrounding climate change.[1]
It is known for its undercover operations.[2]
In 2023, it, in collaboration with BBC, reported on a plan by the United Arab Emirates and Sultan Al Jaber to use the 2023 United Nations Climate Change Conference for making oil deals.[3] With The Guardian, it exposed a pattern of Wikipedia editing to cover up Al Jaber's conflict of interest as the owner of an oil company.[4] In collaboration with Channel 4, employees from the centre went undercover in Saudi Arabia, and reported on secretive plans to increase oil dependency in developing nations in Asia and Africa.[5]
In 2024, reporters from the centre posed as wealthy donors, working their way up to a meeting with Russell Vought of Project 2025. In the meeting, which was covertly recorded and published to YouTube, Vought was adamant that Donald Trump blessed the Heritage Foundation's work, despite Trump having publicly distanced himself from the project.[6]
It receives funding through grants, donations, and philanthropy.[7]
