News media and newsrooms tend to focus mainly on national coverage, but the climate crisis and obstacles to shifting away from fossil fuels go beyond national borders.
Journalismfund Fossil Fuel Grants Programme 2024
The Fossil Fuel Grant Programme seeks to assist international teams of journalists and news organizations in uncovering and reporting on undisclosed actions of European fossil fuel companies and their associates both within and outside of Europe.
Along with investigating cross-border activities of the fossil fuel industry, this initiative also supports comparisons of local industry practices or policies across multiple regions.
The stories that result from these investigations must be published by a minimum of two media outlets in two different countries, with at least one of them being a European media entity.
