Call all Climate Journalists

Climate Tracker is offering journalists from across the Caribbean region including Belize an opportunity to be a part of a journalism fellowship. The fellowship revolves around climate justice and aims to empower and assist committed climate journalists across the Caribbean in effectively covering climate justice issues. Successful applicants will receive one-on-one mentoring, a stipend for each story produced and international exposure. We spoke to the Regional Coordinator for Climate Tracker, Dizzanne Billy.

 

Dizzanne Billy, Regional Coordinator, Climate Tracker
“What we do at Climate Tracker is create opportunities for training, for publishing, for young climate journalists who need that opportunity. Because what we’ve noticed is that although the global south is, you know, largely affected by climate impacts, young journalists in the regions of these countries don’t.  Or the countries of these regions don’t have the opportunities to publish, uh, because of different constraints. So what we try to do is create that space for young climate journalists or aspiring climate journalists to get training in what climate change means for their region and also pair them with media houses and NGOs that will enable them to publish the stories that need to be told.”
