In Fall 2019, National Catholic Reporter launched EarthBeat, an online reporting project telling stories of faith and climate change.
To help guide the development of this important project, we have assembled an Advisory Panel made of up of activists, educators, journalists and others with a passion and expertise in climate change issues.
