Press coverage of climate change analysed by country: UK and Australia rank top
The UK comes second for the number of articles published on climate change since 2004, according to data from the Media and Climate Change Observatory (MeCCO).
Based on the average number of articles published in each title tracked since 2004 when MeCCO began collecting the data, only Australia tops the UK when it comes to the amount of column inches dedicated to climate change.
(We used an average since MeCCO tracks more publications in some countries than others.)
MeCCO, which is led by researchers at the University of Colorado, monitors print and broadcast sources in 59 countries to track the amount of attention being paid to the climate issue. Print coverage, which in some cases also includes digital articles, covers 54 countries.
A COUNCIL is preparing to launch a campaign to help clean up South Lakeland and keep it litter free.

SLDC is kicking off the campaign by supporting Keep Britain Tidy’s Great British Spring Clean for the fifth year in a row, taking place from May 28 to June 13. This nationwide event is an ideal opportunity for people to roll up their sleeves and help clean up a corner of South Lakeland, whether it’s the street where they live, a nearby park or playground, or a favourite patch of countryside or coast.
