About

Elemental: Covering Sustainability is a multimedia collaboration between public radio and public television stations in Colorado, Arizona and California.

Our partners include KPCC (Southern California Public Radio) and PBS SoCal in Los Angeles, Rocky Mountain PBS in Denver, and Cronkite News/Arizona PBS and KJZZ in Phoenix.

We cover urbanization, climate change, water and renewable energy. Our mission is to create original content about the world we live in and what the future might hold.

We are supported through a grant from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
