Global South journalists in Europe and the UK, join us at COP26! Deadline Sept. 20, 2021

[Joyce]

COP26 is being hailed as the most critical UN negotiating session since Paris in 2015. This is with good reason. Not since 2014, has China, the US, Europe and most of the world’s major economies been able to align their climate pledges. With buy-in from East Asian powerhouses Japan and South Korea, and the UK investing heavily in its diplomatic influence across the Commonwealth, it is right to project that COP26 could indeed be a turning point for the global climate movement. 

In spite of all this, there are far too many hurdles to jump over for journalists from the Global South to be represented at the climate negotiations. From low vaccination levels to travel restrictions and skyrocketing airfares, the obstacles are multifaceted. 

This is why, this year we’re working to bring 5 young journalists from the Global South residing in Europe or the UK to this year’s climate negotiations. https://bit.ly/3AgIZaC
