Media Toolkit on Climate Financing

Overview

To minimize climate-induced vulnerabilities and to build resilient communities, many projects are in place with national and international funding. But journalists know little about such projects and their implementation because respective entities make almost no interaction with journalists. Therefore, transparency and accountability of projects are not ensured, on the other hand, projects’ impacts are not reaching to the wider audience. To minimize the gap, a toolkit was developed for media professionals highlighting different issues of climate change, priorities, financing and practice.

Objective

To increase journalists  knowledge on climate change and skills on covering initiatives to address climate change issues.
