Description

In its sixth report, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) emphasizes the crucial role the media must play in informing people about climate change. It is up to journalists to rise to the challenge that these upheavals represent for current and future generations. As we are faced with the critical emergency of the climate crises, we journalists must step up our practices in order to fully address these issues – and what’s at stake – in our coverage.
