Caribbean Citizen Climate Journalism Fellowship

Call for Applications: Pacific Funds 2023-2024

Deadline: 30-Sep-22

The Climate Tracker is seeking applications for Caribbean Citizen Climate Journalism Fellowship to provide climate change knowledge and reporting know-how to citizens in communities within the Caribbean.

Leveraging civic participation to produce engaging climate change stories, Climate Tracker with the support of The Cropper Foundation will carry out a Citizen Climate Journalism Fellowship to train citizen representatives from Guyana, Suriname, and Trinidad and Tobago and build their capacity to communicate climate change.

These three locations are heavily impacted by extractive industrial activities and require urgent attention to protect and build community resilience in the region.

Within the media, the climate crisis has also most often been framed as an international diplomatic issue, rather than a domestic vehicle for societal change. While politics is certainly at play here, it is also due to the limited access and resources for these affected groups to put forward their voices, prioritise, and help them to publish powerful climate and environmental stories through an experienced intermediary, and push democracy to work for those affected by these powerful industry lobbies that continue these extractive behaviors.
