The Pan-African Climate Justice Alliance is accepting entries for the African Climate Change and Environmental Reporting (ACCER) Awards 2024, a biennial initiative that recognises excellence in climate change and environmental journalism in Africa.
Awards will be given in six categories: print media, broadcast media, investigative journalism, opinion commentary, use of data in climate change reporting, and digital activists.
Journalists reporting on climate change and the environment in Africa can enter this contest.
Entries must have been published or aired in English or French. Submissions in other languages must include a translation into English.
The organiser says, “Africa is realising the impact that climate change is having on their lives and their actionable plans to mitigate and adapt to new ways of living is evidential and has been reported across the board in the various media platforms”.
The deadline for the submission of application is August 6, 2024.
