Making sense of a changing planet, from Oslo to the world
We created Rachel Carson Prize to make environmental news easier to understand without losing sight of its complexity. From our base in Oslo, we cover climate, biodiversity, oceans and conservation worldwide, exploring the connections between scientific discoveries, changing ecosystems and everyday life.
Inspired by Rachel Carson’s curiosity about the natural world, we aim to bring clarity, context and a sense of discovery to the stories we share. Our publication is an independent editorial tribute to her legacy and is not affiliated with the Rachel Carson Prize award or its organisers.
