Good News!

These sites focus exclusively on progress and solutions, making them perfect for quick social media shares.

• Fix the News: Formerly known as Future Crunch, this is arguably the gold standard for "hidden" good news. They track global increases in renewable energy, wildlife conservation successes, and medical breakthroughs.

• Reasons to Be Cheerful: Founded by David Byrne, this editorial project tells stories of smart, proven solutions to the world’s biggest problems, with a heavy focus on environmental justice and urban sustainability.

• Pique Action: A newer media company that focuses on short-form video stories about "climate heroes" and new tech solutions. Great for visual inspiration.

• Happy Eco News: A dedicated aggregator that collects positive environmental stories from around the world.

2. Deep-Dive Solution Journalism

Use these for your blog or long-form resources when you want to explain how a specific sustainable change is happening.

• Grist: Their "Fix" section is entirely dedicated to climate solutions and the people making them happen. They are experts at finding the "reason for hope" in complex policy news.

• Canary Media: The best source for the clean energy transition. If a country just hit a record for solar power or a new battery technology just launched, you’ll find it here.

• Mongabay: Specifically great for positive wildlife and nature news. They often report on successful reforestation projects and the rediscovery of species thought to be extinct.

3. High-Authority "Progress Trackers"

To back up your posts with hard data (which builds trust), these organizations track the actual "wins" in the climate fight.

• The Climate Change Performance Index (CCPI): Shows which countries are leading the way in GHG emissions reductions and renewable energy.

• Project Drawdown: The world’s leading resource for climate solutions. Their "Solutions Library" is a goldmine for DIY info and sustainable lifestyle tips.

• International Energy Agency (IEA): Look for their "Reports" section; they frequently release data showing how renewable energy is outperforming fossil fuels globally.

4. Newsletters to Subscribe To

If you want the news to come to you, these are the best weekly digests:

• "The Weekly Planet" (The Atlantic): High-quality writing on how the world is changing for the better.

• "Climate Coach" (Washington Post): Focuses on personal, actionable sustainability advice backed by science.

• "Outrage + Optimism": A podcast and newsletter by Christiana Figueres (a key architect of the Paris Agreement). It balances the urgency of the crisis with "stubborn optimism."
