Two reporters and an energy expert break down what environmental journalists need to know about the energy transition, based on the latest reports from international energy analysts. How quickly are renewables displacing fossil fuels? How have AI and U.S. policy changes complicated the path to net zero? What does this mean for climate change and the environment? And how can reporters weave these high-level insights into their daily stories?

Join us for Energy Reporting 101 for Environmental Journalists, a webinar designed to help you demystify the numbers and find the human stories behind the power grid. Whether you’re a veteran climate reporter looking for a refresh or a general assignment journalist diving into the energy beat for the first time, you’ll walk away with the context, questions and confidence needed to pitch and execute powerful stories.
