About this session
The seriousness of the climate emergency is blatantly evident this year. We’ve had the hottest days and anomalies never seen before. One disturbing indicator is the temperature of the oceans. Marine issues are increasingly at the core of the climate change debate. In this online panel, in partnership with the Pulitzer Center, journalists share how they are working on improving the coverage of the ocean. We will hear from reporters investigating the effects of climate change on fishing stocks and how this is driving conflicts in communities of the Global South. We will also explore science stories that connect local impacts with the global effects of global warming.
Hear insights from Benji Jones, Senior Reporter, Vox; Gideon Sarpong, 2023 Ocean Reporting Fellow (Sub-saharan Africa), Pulitzer Center; and moderator Jessica Aldred, Ocean Editor, Pulitzer Center.
