Hello,

The ongoing conflict in Iran has plunged the world into a profound energy crisis.

As exports falter and prices soar, the fragility of our global reliance on fossil fuels has never been more exposed.

Ever since we launched in 2010, Carbon Brief’s journalists have been explaining – with nuance, data and authority – why transitioning towards a future powered by clean energy makes sense on multiple levels.

The chaos and turbulence of the past few weeks has brought this logic into ever sharper focus.

But we really need your on-going support – especially when the malign influence of misinformation, ideology and vested interest is both relentless and rife.

The reality is that the complexity of reporting on a global energy crunch during an era of fast-rising temperatures requires significant resources.

To maintain our independence and keep our journalism free for everyone, we rely on the support of readers like you.

Put simply, the more financial assistance we receive at this time of global upheaval, the more award-winning, public-interest journalism we can produce.

Please give what you can to support our work at this pivotal and perilous time.

Thank you.
