Deadline: 10-May-22
The Climate Tracker is inviting applications to discuss pedagogical tools that help solve some of the problems experienced by those who tell stories associated with the energy transition.
The energy transition is a novel and complex process that demands special coverage so that audiences understand the changes brought about by it, the challenges and the difficulties. That is why it is essential that those who cover this topic have pedagogical tools that help them better understand the transition and easily find the information they require.
The objective is to discuss pedagogical tools that help solve some of the problems experienced by those who tell stories associated with the energy transition.
Climate Tracker (CT) is an international non-profit organization, aiming to support, train and incentivise better climate journalism globally. They believe in the power of journalism, but recognise that many young journalists don’t have the training, resources or support to identify and tell the climate stories they want to. They also recognise that this challenge is often greatest in the countries hardest hit by climate change.
