THE Thomson Reuters Foundation and the Global Center on Adaptation’s Locally Led Adaptation program are accepting applications for the Reporting on Locally Led Adaptation to Climate Change training program.
This online training offers 12 multimedia journalists a chance to deepen their understanding of the impacts of climate change at a local level and hone their skills to draw urgent attention to them through news reporting.
Multimedia journalists from developing countries can participate in a reporting program on climate change.
Priority will be given to journalists from Bangladesh, Egypt, Ghana and Kenya. The program begins on August 2, 2022.
At the end of the program, selected journalists will be invited to participate in a mentoring program scheme, which includes a GBP500 (US$611) grant to produce a story.
The organiser says, “According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, 3.5 billion people are highly vulnerable to climate impacts, as they suffer severe water shortages on a yearly basis.”
The rising temperatures and rainfall result in an increased risk of exposure to deadly heat stress, serious flooding and the spread of diseases in people, crops, livestock and wildlife worldwide.
The deadline for the submission of the application is July 17, 2022. Interested applicants can apply here.
