Reporting from Antarctica and Alaska, the forests of the Amazon and equatorial Africa, the wildfires in California and Australia and on the trail of waste management in Asia, AFP text, video and photo journalists are on the ground providing live and in-depth coverage. Worldwide, the Agency's editorial teams work around-the-clock to decode the causes and impact of the environmental crisis on our lifestyles, economies and politics. Going beyond the numbers and the science reports, rigorous and often exclusive AFP reports reveal the human dimension of a crisis that has led millions of people to protest, seek solutions and change their lifestyles, and many millions more to suffer its consequences, from conflict to migration. The agency has also devoted increasing resources to fact-checking a domain where disinformation thrives. AFP has an exceptional image archive, fed by AFP countless stories on the future of the planet. We are the first global news agency to have joined the "Covering Climate Now" alliance, which aims to strengthen coverage of the climate crisis in the media.
The future of the planet is the greatest challenge facing humanity. Devastating fires, record temperatures, superstorms and melting icesheets - day after day, extreme weather events amplified by global warming make headlines. Following the warnings of scientists, the world's youth has been at the forefront of raising awareness about the climate emergency, pollution levels, and the environmental degradation threatening humanity and biodiversity.
