climate justice

Meet our 15 climate justice journalism fellows from across the Caribbean

Climate change disproportionately impacts developing countries, low-income communities, and communities of colour around the world. However, their voices and concerns are not widely reported.

As the impacts of climate change is worsening, it is now the time to better amplify climate stories from this region, especially those that emphasise fairness, participation, and inclusion for all.

We received incredible amount of applications for this programme. And now, in partnership with Open Society Foundations, we’re excited to announce our climate justice fellows. Let’s meet the full team!
