Value proposition

Ensia was a solutions-focused media outlet and a leading voice in environmental journalism from 2013 to 2024

Ensia is a magazine showcasing environmental solutions in action. Powered by the Institute on the Environment at the University of Minnesota, we connect people with ideas, information and inspiration they can use to change the world.

We cover a broad spectrum of environment and sustainability issues, looking at the crossroads of sectors, disciplines, ideologies and geographies for new perspectives and solutions to emerge.

We do so through three main channels:
