Climate Home News

What this publication wants

This is BRYME's summary of the publication's focus — not a copy of their website. Type of writing: Journalism, Analysis. Official guideline: Climate Home News guidelines.

Topics, themes and styles they look for

• Climate stories with an international outlook: finance, carbon markets, energy transition, critical minerals, human rights, land conflict, loss and damage, greenwash, climate diplomacy.
• What is new, why it matters internationally, main actors, sources, your background, where the action is.
• News/analysis/features: Megan Rowling (mr at climatehomenews.com). Investigations: Sebastian Rodriguez (sr at climatehomenews.com).

Subjects they avoid

• A finished article instead of a pitch.
• Stories based only on a research paper, a widely distributed report, or a conference panel.
• Stories solely about climate impacts or a wind farm unless there is something new.
• AI-written pitches. Official: they will not respond to pitches that appear AI-generated.
• Comment if you expect pay — official: comment is generally unpaid.

Key requirements

• Short pitch, not a draft
• Climate + international angle
• No AI pitch

Who can submit

Official: freelance journalists, experts and organisations. They have a modest budget to commission reporting from around the world. No country list.

How to write for them

Official requirement: always follow the publication's own guideline exactly.

BRYME's practical advice: write for the publication's audience, use a clear structure, keep paragraphs short, lead with a specific angle, and confirm the word count before submitting. These are practical suggestions — they are not the publication's official rules.

How to pitch

Where a pitch is required, this is the general pattern BRYME recommends — always adapt it to the publication's guideline.

1. Research the publication and read several recent pieces.
2. Choose a specific idea that fits their beat and audience.
3. Write a concise subject line naming your idea.
4. Introduce yourself in one or two lines (who you are, where you publish).
5. Explain the proposed piece in a short paragraph — angle, structure, length.
6. Say why it fits this publication.
7. Include 2–3 relevant clips or links.
8. Close professionally and thank them for their time.
9. Send through the official channel only.

What happens after submission

Expected response: They cannot guarantee a response

If the publication does not state a response time, BRYME records that it is unknown. A follow-up is generally reasonable after a couple of weeks; if there is still no response, treat that as a likely non-acceptance rather than a rejection. Acceptance is normally communicated by the publication. If they accept, they will tell you exactly how to submit the final piece and, for most, how and when payment is made.
