Republish Our Content (Yes It’s That Easy)

At Climate Central, we give you the ability to take our original content and spread it around. That means if you’re a media organization who’d like to syndicate our content, a teacher wanting to use our graphics or videos in your classroom, or a blogger who wants to feature one of our studies on your blog — we support you! We want to help make sharing our content as easy as possible.

The Basics (see full legal terms and disclosure below)

DO

Feel free to republish any of Climate Central’s original videos, graphics, maps, animations, blogs or news stories created or written by Climate Central, in its original form. Infographics may be republished online as well, but for print publication you must seek prior permission.
Always cite Climate Central on anything you republish. When you post our content, please include a link to our website at www.climatecentral.org. (Better yet, include a link back to the url where the content first appeared).
Shoot us an email with any questions if you’re unsure of something. You can reach us at republish@climatecentral.org, and we promise to get back to you ASAP.

DON’T

Don’t republish content that appears on our site, but is originally from third party sources. Climate Central syndicates content occasionally from Daily Climate and KQED, among others. We have our own relationships and agreements with all of the outside content providers we work with. If you find a story from a third party on our site that you’d like to republish, you’ll have to talk to them.
Don’t republish any photos from our site, unless they are credited to Climate Central staff. We pay for and license our own artwork and photos here at Climate Central from many different sources.
Don’t sell our stuff without prior permission. Period.
Don’t edit our stuff without prior permission. Period.
Don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions. There are real people who work at Climate Central, and we’re happy to try and help you out.

These are just the basics – for a more detailed breakdown of our content sharing and republishing policies, see the legal language below. Happy sharing!
