Track trends and create accountability around print, radio, and television news about climate change. We also have worked with television networks, broadcasters, and programs, as well as the music industry.

The (MeCCO) tracks climate change coverage in 127 newspapers, radio and television sources. These span across 59 countries, in 13 languages (English, Spanish, Arabic, French, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian, Finnish, Swedish, Danish, German, Russian and Portuguese). MeCCO monitors climate-relevant content each month and produces monthly as well as yearly summaries of the ebbs and flows of news. MeCCO produces 4 open access data sets each month at the global level for newspapers (2004-2020) and radio (2000-220), along with newspaper coverage in seven regions – Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, Middle East, North America and Oceania – as well as at the country level in Australia, Canada, Denmark, Germany, India, Japan, New Zealand, Norway, Russia, Spain, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the United States.

ÌýÌýActivities include:

• Monthly monitoring and updates on media coverage of climate change or global warming on the MeCCO website across these two-dozen data sets
• ’ of top ecological, meteorological, political, economic, scientific, social and cultural dimensions of media coverage of climate change or global warming around the world
• An annual report analyzing media coverage of climate change or global warming around the world
• Coordination with ¶¶ÒõÂÃÐÐÉä Libraries to provide open-source datasets for downloading and use by other researchers, students, journalists, policy decision-makers, engaged citizens and practitioners
• Offshoot research projects that draw on these datasets, with members of the MeCCO research team

This project was first co-founded by Max Boykoff, Maria Mansfield and Debs Strickland at the University of Oxford in 2008. The project moved to the University of Colorado Boulder in 2009, which has served as the MeCCO hub, working with a twenty-eight-member team of scholars across ten other Universities and Institutes: Aarhus University, Deakin University, Munich Technical University, National Institute for Environmental Studies (Japan), Oslo Metropolitan University, University of New England, Universidad de Sevilla, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Finnish Environment Institute, and University of Helsinki.

There is no other resource like it available for researchers, interested media outlets and decision-makers.
