Corrections and Clarifications: June 25, 2026
The Guardian's corrections and clarifications column for June 25, 2026, addresses several errors in recent articles. Among the corrections, a quote was misattributed in a piece about climate policy, and an incorrect date appeared in a report on a local election.
Misattributed Quote in Climate Article
In an article published on June 22, 2026, titled 'New Climate Targets Spark Debate,' a quote was incorrectly attributed to Dr. Sarah Jenkins, a climate scientist at the University of Oxford. The quote, which read 'We need more aggressive action now,' was actually from Dr. Mark Thompson, a policy analyst at the same institution. The error occurred during the editing process. The Guardian apologizes for the mistake and has updated the online version accordingly.
Incorrect Date in Local Election Report
In a report on the Manchester City Council election results published on June 24, 2026, the date of the election was incorrectly stated as June 20, 2026. The election actually took place on June 19, 2026. The error has been corrected in the online article. The Guardian regrets the inaccuracy.
Additional Clarifications
The column also includes a clarification regarding a recent feature on urban gardening, where a photograph caption misidentified a plant species. The caption has been updated to accurately reflect the species shown. The Guardian is committed to maintaining high standards of accuracy and transparency, and these corrections reflect that commitment.
