The Center for Environmental Reporting (CER) is an initiative of Northern California Public Media dedicated to in-depth journalism and storytelling on environmental issues that impact our region and beyond.
In the Bay Area, awareness of climate change is high—and so is the desire to make a difference. Many individuals and communities are already taking meaningful action to protect the environment and build a more sustainable future. CER supports and amplifies those efforts by providing trusted information, local stories, and practical tools to help people stay informed and engaged.

CER supports and amplifies those efforts by providing trusted information, local stories, and practical tools to help people stay informed and engaged.
Through a 360-degree media approach—including television and radio programs, news reports, podcasts, digital content, and community events—we connect audiences with the knowledge and inspiration they need to take climate action in their own lives.
We also offer resources to help community members stay safe during extreme weather events such as wildfires, floods, and heatwaves—ensuring people are not only aware of the risks but equipped to respond and stay protected.
At CER, our mission is to transform concern into action by empowering people with the stories, information, and support they need to create lasting environmental change—locally and beyond.
