Description
The Pulitzer Center’s Our Work/Environment Reporting Grants fund in-depth journalism that explores the impacts of climate change on workers and employment sectors worldwide. The initiative encourages reporting on how rising temperatures and environmental pressures are transforming jobs, manufacturing, and factory practices across diverse industries—including technology, food, and fashion. Projects should illuminate challenges faced by vulnerable workers, labor rights issues, and the actions of companies pursuing sustainability at scale. Priority is given to stories that expose opaque supply chains, follow financial flows, and address systemic transparency and governance concerns. The Center welcomes innovative storytelling in any format—print, digital, broadcast, radio, film, or data-driven journalism—and seeks proposals from journalists representing a wide range of backgrounds and geographies.
