Climate Change Reporting Workshop: 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 be at least six national-level media training workshops hosted at the American Center and other American Spaces in New Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai, Chennai, and at least two other appropriate second-tier cities, potentially including the Sundarbans (where they are especially affected by climate change), Ghaziabad, or Lucknow. The workshops, each for 40-50 journalists over 18 months, will be organized by the grantee and provide participants with technical knowledge by citing U.S. case studies and policies, in order to empower participants to report substantially more on climate change in India, using factual and actionable information. Strengthen the reporting capacities of 40-50 journalists in each of the 6 workshops (total 300) and improve data-driven media reporting through these training workshops over 18 months Increase the number of actual reports, amplify the social media narrative, and increase the number of articles where the journalist ties environmental issues to policy issues. Improve reliability of information on climate and environmental issues through accurate reporting. Participants and U.S. and local experts will also discuss priority areas that can be highlighted by media for practical actions to raise awareness on climate change challenges and promote public engagement in environmental conservation to reach net zero emissions and limit global warming to 1.5°C.
