ENS covers issues and events that affect the environment: natural disasters, politics, legislation, conferences, demonstrations, legal action, international agreements, sustainable development, climate change, energy, health, water, food, air quality, oceans and marine life, land use, forests, wildlife, toxics, waste and recycling, transportation, finance and the built environment.

In addition to being reporters, ENS contributors often have expertise in fields such as law, economics or public health.

ENS often covers emerging issues long before other news outlets as many news sources contact ENS well in advance of public announcements and work closely with us on breaking developments.

As a result, ENS has won four Project Censored awards, given by the California-based media research project for news published ahead of the media curve.

ENS news reports are indexed by Dow Jones Factiva, and thousands of websites feature Environment News Service reports.
