To
The CEOs of all major News Corporations of the world,
In light of the report on climate change published today by the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the society at large needs guidance from reputable sources to act now and do things to limit climate change, perhaps more than discussing and sharing opinions about it. Hence, we are writing to request all major news corporations the following, to put to use their immense influence and reach, to combat climate change.
We are proposing all responsible news corporations of the world to educate people about the causes of climate change and more importantly suggest actions for everyone to limit it. The United Nations (and several others) have already published a wealth of resource and information on what everyone can do in their daily lives to limit climate change. Such information can be communicated to the masses, regularly, for them to realise the importance of those and help them adopt more sustainable ways of life in an effort to limit climate change.
Any news corporation that has played its vital part in educating the masses about COVID-19 and means to limit spread of the virus over the last year and half has already had a poof of principle that such repetitive messaging and education has significant impact on the behaviour on it viewers, listeners and readers, especially in trying times.
Hence, following this proven principle, suggesting masses to actively participate to combat climate change is expected to have a significant shift in consumer choices. As a consequence, business too would evolve their products and practices to more sustainable ones, much earlier than when most actually plan to do so!
While government policy changes to curb climate change is expected to be the major force, the consumer can lead the way through their everyday choices and responsible consumption.
Climate emergency is ‘code red for humanity’; while there is still hope for us to limit climate change, responsible news corporations can be the biggest force for change in this challenge faced by the world.
Thank you.
Signed by over 500 thoughtful and responsible individuals from across the world.
