Once a novelty, the climate change story is now as big as the world, and as local as your back yard. As the story itself has been expanding, so has the journalistic coverage. Today, it is no longer owned by journalists on science and environmental beats. In addition to government and political beats, global warming can be found in beats ranging from international affairs (think climate treaties), to technology (think solar panels), to business (think green industries) and even to the simple general assignment beat (think forest fires, and deaths and illness from heat waves). That’s the goal of this course ― to give non-expert reporters and citizen journalists a firm grounding in the science and policy underlying climate change.
Deforestation is a major contributor to climate change. REDD is an initiative that aims to slow the loss of forests. But how it will work in practice is proving controversial.
This document contains the contact details of climate change experts who are willing to talk to journalists. It includes scientists, NGO staff, community leaders, policy advisors and others from around the world. The document was created by the Climate Change Media Partnership, set up by Internews, Panos and the International Institute for Environment and Development to support journalists who report on climate change.
