25 years of climate journalism: an inbox full of deniers while the world burns

After 25 years as climate editor, Paul Luttikhuis is stepping down from the role and reflecting on what he has learned. In an interview for NRC Vandaag, he says this summer has shown that talking about climate change, and especially acting on it, is more urgent than ever.

The conversation focuses on the central lessons of his quarter-century in climate journalism. Its framing is stark: while the world is experiencing increasingly urgent climate pressures, journalists still receive inboxes filled with climate deniers.

Gabriella Adèr presents the discussion, with David Weel handling the editorial work. Yeppe van Kesteren edited the production, and Ignace Schoot served as final editor.
