This award will be given out to the best story that focuses on the relationship between climate change and the natural world.

Eligible stories include those that report on the impacts of climate change on ecosystems, on the oceans, on biodiversity and on specific species.

Stories that focus on the science of how climate change interacts with natural systems, for instance to create positive and negative feedback loops, are also eligible.

Please note that whereas stories focusing on the impact of forest ecosystems are suitable for submission for this award, stories that focus instead on forest management, in particular on REDD (reducing emissions from deforestation and degradation) and on forestry projects that mitigate climate change, should be submitted for the separate prize on Climate Change and Forests.
