Deadline: 1 May 2017
The Thomson Reuters Foundation is seeking applications for its programme “Following the Climate Money”. This programme will draw on the Thomson Reuters Foundation’s long track record of covering climate change and climate funding for a global audience.
The programme will feature an intensive 5-day workshop in Indonesia in July 2017 (dates TBC). The workshop will introduce participants to climate finance, as well as related areas like carbon markets and the cost of disaster management, always using real case studies. It will also demonstrate how data journalism could be applied to this topic. Participants will then receive support from project editors to help them produce original stories. Modest funding will be available to help with reporting costs.
