China Dialogue
China Dialogue is an independent organisation dedicated to promoting a common understanding of China’s urgent environmental challenges. Climate change, species loss, pollution, water scarcity and environment damage are challenges that concern all the world’s citizens, and the scale of China’s problems gives them global importance.
The Third Pole
Multilingual platform dedicated to promoting information and discussion about the Himalayan watershed and the rivers that originate there. The concerned region encompasses the Himalaya-Hindu Kush mountain ranges and the Tibetan Plateau, an area widely known as the Third Pole because its ice fields contain the largest reserve of fresh water outside the polar regions and source of the 10 major river systems that provide irrigation, power and drinking water for over 1.3 billion people in Asia – nearly 20% of the world’s population.
Sixth Tone
There are five tones in Mandarin Chinese. When it comes to coverage of China, Sixth Tone believes there is room for other voices that go beyond buzzwords and headlines to tell the uncommon stories of common people.
