About EYE ON THE ENVIRONMENTAL CRISIS: MEDIA COVERAGE INSIDE THE STORM
Amid global crises, the sixth mass extinction is accelerating and threatening food security, ecosystems, and worsening the climate crisis. How can journalists and content creators cut through the noise to report on these issues?
In the lead up to the 2024 biodiversity, climate and desertification COPs, journalists, scientists and changemakers explored critical topics, key sources and tools to cover these topics effectively. The discussions provided insights into the complexities of financing nature to meet biodiversity goals and prepared participants to maximize the potential of the 7th GLF Investment Case Symposium, held alongside the United Nations Biodiversity Conference (COP16).
