With the advancement of digital technologies and emergence of citizen journalism, climate journalism benefits from the contributions of not only environmental journalists, but also climate activists and environmental organisations as well as concerned citizens of Earth. This means that the high calling of climate journalism can currently be implemented by a variety of actors. It is important to note, however, that all climate journalists should undertake the duties and responsibilities that underpin journalistic ethics, such as accuracy, transparency, independence, respect for rule of law and human rights, and so on in order to be deemed trustworthy and effective. Additionally, as journalists reporting on scientific topics and matters of activism that constitute public topics, they should have the proper knowledge of the relevant terminology, scientific facts, an awareness of the diplomatic efforts surrounding the climate crisis, and a keen understanding of how determinantal a conflict of interest.
