Climate Tracker is thrilled to announce the sixth edition of its Climate Journalism Mentoring Program, specifically tailored for participants from Argentina, Mexico, and Brazil, coinciding with the upcoming G20 Summit.
In this cycle, they have some exciting activities planned. They invite you to be a part of this extraordinary opportunity, where you can shed light on important stories and explore diverse storytelling formats.
Program Details
Phase 1
Participants will engage in a captivating live discussion (approximately 60 minutes) on the energy transition and climate change within their respective countries. They will have the opportunity to interact with local leaders and past program fellows, who will offer valuable advice on addressing these issues.
