The publisher says Cop28 coincides with the Guardian’s fifth annual environment moment, which this year focuses on nature, and looks back at impactful Guardian climate journalism, including an updated environment pledge and results of the Guardian’s first biodiversity audit. Last month, the Guardian announced it had improved its B Corp certification score to 100.9 (up 17% from 86.2 in 2019), with progress in almost every category.
