In partnership with the Solutions Journalism Network.

The Climate Solutions Journalism webinar will guide journalists in shifting the climate narrative from problem-centered reporting to a solutions-oriented approach, emphasizing how this change can broaden public understanding of climate issues. Focusing on the fundamentals of climate solutions journalism, we will explore how covering effective, evidence-based responses can add depth and nuance to climate stories. Journalists will gain practical techniques for crafting accessible, impactful narratives that resonate with audiences by incorporating diverse voices, data, and visuals. The 60-minute session will be interactive, inviting attendees to share ways to integrate solutions-focused approaches into their climate reporting and the successes they have found in climate solutions journalism.
