Climate Tracker Workshop 2023 : Understanding Loss and Damage in LAC
Deadline: 10th of September, 2023
Over the course of two months, 30 selected journalists will participate in eight virtual meetings to highlight how climate-related loss and damage are exacerbating multifaceted and interconnected problems in the region, such as climate-induced migration, population displacement, food insecurity, and other factors such as water scarcity, malnutrition, and poverty.
The eight sessions are aimed at strengthening the capacities of Latin American journalists and will be distributed as follows:
- Bases of climate science
- Introduction to Loss and Damage
- How to measure Damages and Losses in the region
- Loss and Damage in Climate Negotiations
- Financing of Losses and Damages in climate negotiations

In this way, the objective of this workshop is to deepen the topic of Loss and Damage in Latin America in a multidimensional way, addressing the technical aspects but also those related to the communication of the topic.
Eligibility:
- Journalists from Peru, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Guatemala, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Honduras and Mexico.
- A strong desire to improve as a climate communicator/journalist, or to start integrating this perspective into your work.
