Climate Tracker is proud to partner with Internews Earth Journalism Network to develop a journalism masterclass to equip 14 journalists from across Southeast Asia with the knowledge, networks, and resources needed to understand and report on the climate and water nexus, through a regional and country-specific lens.

Selected fellows will have to participate in group calls where they will receive training from their team as well as external experts who’ve agreed to come onboard.

Training and mentorship to help build your understanding of the climate and water nexus and help you to create more impactful, holistic, and powerful stories.
Individual articles and collaborative stories.
Engagement with their communications and outreach team to create creative content to disseminate the stories you produce.
