Worldwatch Institute will regretfully cease publication of World Watch magazine with the July/August 2010 issue. Like many magazines, World Watch has struggled to overcome the unique challenges that subscription-based print publications face in the current economic and media environment. Due to financial constraints, Worldwatch has come to the difficult decision to close the magazine and to reallocate resources to our online communications.

Please stay engaged with the Worldwatch Institute as we expand our online presence and continue to produce cutting-edge sustainability research and analysis. We invite you to subscribe to our newsletters, follow our four blogs, and check out our other publications and products including our annual State of the World report.
