Climate Change Reporting Workshop

Background
The grant opportunity aims to improve data-driven and accurate media reporting, amplify the social media narrative to combat climate change and pollution, and allow reporters to advocate for better public health resources and actions. The project output will include at least six national-level media training workshops hosted at various locations in India, such as New Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai, Chennai, and potentially other second-tier cities like the Sundarbans, Ghaziabad, or Lucknow. The workshops will aim to strengthen the reporting capacities of 40-50 journalists in each of the 6 workshops (total 300) over 18 months. The grantee will provide technical knowledge by citing U.S. case studies and policies to empower participants to report substantially more on climate change in India using factual and actionable information.

The project also aims to improve reliability of information on climate and environmental issues through accurate reporting.
