Just 24 hours after the launch of National Observer's new Kickstarter campaign, Reports from the Race Against Climate Change, we've raised over 20 per cent of our $60,000-target.

But we still have a long way to go — the clock is ticking on climate change action and with only 28 days left for our campaign, it's ticking even faster on us.

Your funds will support a year of critical, investigative reporting on the environmental issues facing the world today, from disastrous megastorms to acidifying oceans, and the clean energy innovators trying to stop them.

Please pledge. Then share the link to the campaign and spread the word. Creating momentum this week will ensure success.
