About The 89 Percent Project
The 89 Percent Project is a year-long global journalistic effort to explore a pivotal but little-known fact about climate change: The overwhelming majority of the world’s people — between 80 and 89%, according to recent science — want governments to take stronger action. But that fact is not reflected in our news coverage, which helps explain why the 89% don’t know that they are the global majority.
The 89 Percent Project launches on April 21 with a CCNow Joint Coverage Week focused on the people who comprise this silent climate majority: Who are they? How do their numbers vary across countries and gender and generational lines? What kinds of action do they want governments to take?
