Right Now is back. Our climate is in crisis and human rights issues have taken on a deeply personal urgency. We’re relaunching with a new lens, fresh writers, and a new approach. Be part of the change. rightnow.org.au

Right Now has teamed up with the Centre for Advancing Journalism & The Age to mentor students as they investigate how climate change will impact human rights. This investigation talks to people who live next to freight routes and the threat to their health rightnow.org.au/news/exhausted…

Residents of Melbourne's west claim the stench of burning landfill is plaguing them with chronic physical and mental health conditions. And higher temperatures are set to make things worse. rightnow.org.au/news/trashed-t…
