For our Capturing Climate Change project, supported by Earth Journalism Network and Sida, we worked with journalists all over the world to build an archive documenting the impacts of and solutions to climate change. We believe access to free footage is crucial to help journalists tell one of the most important stories of our time.

It’s a wrap for Lensa Iklim Workshop #4 ✅ The Lensa Iklim workshop series is designed to arm journalists and editors from Malaysian news media with crucial knowledge and skills, enabling them to communicate issues of climate change and energy transitions in Malaysia effectively. ➡️ We had a whole powerhouse in this session! Meena Raman (Third World Network / Sahabat Alam Malaysia) provided key insights into #COP29 expectations and challenges especially on the geopolitics tension between the global south and global north on key negotiation tracks. Nadiah Rosli shared strategies for proactive climate reporting before, during, and after COP as COP is not a single annual event but a continuous buildup of work. Imelda Abano (Earth Journalism Network and Internews) explored underreported COP topics, challenges of reporting COP, and future opportunities ( including fundings and fellowships !) based on her 15 years of #UNFCCC COP reporting and training. These experts offered invaluable perspectives on navigating the complexities of COP reporting. Our discussions revealed that technicality of climate negotiations is just the tip of the iceberg, how can we humanise these negotiations for the rakyat, and connect global discussions to local environmental stories in Malaysia? Participants engaged in interactive sessions, sharing experiences and collaboratively addressing barriers to effective climate reporting. Heartfelt thanks to our speakers and journalists for their expertise and dedication. Stay tuned for more from Lensa Iklim! ⚡ Let’s Collaborate ⚡ As we continue to expand our initiatives, we’re keen to explore potential collaborations with like-minded organisations and individuals. Whether it’s through contributing to our resource hub, participating in workshops, or co-producing impactful journalism, there’s lots opportunities to drive meaningful change together.

🌪️Typhoon Yagi damaged some of the ancient buildings at the world-famous Bagan World Heritage Site in #Myanmar. 🛕Experts say the damage was not done by a single event, but by the slow onset of extreme weather conditions, posing risks to this archeological site and requiring more resources for its preservation.

La troisième série d'ateliers de formation des journalistes, dans le cadre du projet « Accroître la capacité des médias à mettre en œuvre le Cadre mondial de la biodiversité de Kunming-Montréal en République Démocratique du Congo », a récemment été réalisée. Ces ateliers avaient pour objectifs principaux d’offrir aux journalistes des méthodes efficaces pour collecter des informations pertinentes sur la biodiversité faisant référence aux 23 cibles du cadre mondial de la biodiversité tout en améliorant leurs compétences sur des sujets connexes, comme le changement climatique. Les journalistes ont également été encouragés à produire un contenu éclairé et informatif. En intégrant le journalisme de solutions et le journalisme scientifique, cette formation visait à renforcer la couverture médiatique de ces questions en RDC. Ce projet soutenu par Internews Europe et Earth Journalism Network et est mis en œuvre par MKAAJI MPYA en partenariat avec KILALO PRESS dans les villes de Kinshasa et Bukavu. #BiodiversitéRDC #JournalismeDeSolutions #ChangementClimatique #CouvertureMédia #GBFKM
