The Caribbean Climate Resource Grant 2023 is now accepting applications. This opportunity seeks to incentivize Caribbean journalists to develop climate resources/tools for other journalists, community organizations, and communicators throughout the region, with the goal of encouraging, improving, and enhancing climate reporting, while also promoting climate knowledge sharing and highlighting underreported regional climate issues.
During the inaugural cycle of the 6-month Caribbean Climate Justice Journalism Fellowship, journalists from around the region used incredible storytelling to emphasize the significance of climate justice in their communities. These funds will support individual study on issues that are frequently seen as difficult or too niche to cover, and the resource developed might take the shape of a film, guide, handbook, research paper, or comprehensive story that everyone in the community can access.
