Dialogue Earth
Who are we?
Dialogue Earth is an independent non-profit dedicated to producing exceptional environmental journalism and informed conversations on urgent climate and sustainability topics.

Dialogue Earth researches, writes, commissions, edits and publishes news reports and analyses of environmental and climate threats, to stimulate the exchange of information and ideas between readers in diverse geographies.
We are committed to accurately portraying China’s development impacts across the Global South through geopolitically even-handed reporting and constructive dialogue.
