The Thomson Reuters Foundation is currently inviting applications for the Webinar Series 2 – Building Resilience: Climate Crises and Green Transition.
To help journalists strengthen their climate coverage, the Asian Development Bank and the Thomson Reuters Foundation are hosting a webinar on ‘Building Resilience: Climate Crises and Green Transition’.
Webinar participants will hear from leading experts on the media’s role in helping to avert a climate catastrophe and will learn how to inform news consumers – especially young people – who turn information into action. Attendees will also improve their skills in communicating complex climate language in an accessible manner through the use of hard-hitting examples and news pegs.
With development challenges becoming ever more complex during COVID-19, the need for high-quality journalism to shed light on them has never been greater, especially in developing regions such as Asia and the Pacific.
Throughout the series, participants will learn from world-renowned experts about reporting on complex development issues in accessible and effective ways. They will also gain insights on how to increase audience engagement, leverage digital tools to enhance reporting, ensure fair coverage of vulnerable communities, and combat misinformation and online safety issues.
