Summary of the project
Public in the region is poorly informed about climate crises and across all countries journalists have neither the proper knowledge nor the basic skills to cover this increasingly critical phenomenon. This project will make a meaningful contribution to tackling the climate crisis by employing our most successful media educational practices based in science and solutions journalism; advocating for extensive climate crisis media coverage while relying on the ample work of civil society and citizens’ networks to inform the media reporting on climate crises.
Project goals:
Overall goal is to enhance professional media reporting on the climate crisis in the target countries.
Specific objective 1: To raise awareness and capacities among journalists and editors in the WB on the climate crises, the threat it poses to sustainable development in target countries and the urgency of the synchronized response on the regional level;
Specific objective 2: To strengthen the connections between citizens, CSOs active in the climate crises advocacy, experts and scientist, state and regional institutions with authority/mandate to develop and implement environmental policies and journalists/media;
