BERLIN - This project aims to educate and connect investigative journalists in Germany and Europe.
At their 13th conference, the Global Investigative Journalism Network emphasised the critical role investigative climate crisis reporting plays in addressing the climate catastrophe. They cited the difficulty of obtaining data and access to experts as significant challenges for investigative climate reporting and called for more trainings and knowledge-sharing spaces.
This programme invites journalists to join a community of climate journalists to share resources and build networks, as well as to attend four tailor-made webinars and one info session on climate journalism that build knowledge and skills.
There will be a total of four webinars for 20 investigative journalists each. Each webinar
lasts one hour and will include at least one expert from the climate space. Topics covered range from fossil finance, land-grabbing and lobbying, to greenwashing and disinformation. The webinars will provide investigative journalists with the tools to include evidence-based climate reporting in their work and will also connect them to relevant experts and discourses in the climate space.
So far one webinar on hydrogen and its relevance for climate journalism was held in May with Claudia Kemfert of the DIW Berlin - German Institute for Economic Research. 105 participants joined the session.
