Climate coverage and COPs: Tools, sources, and storytelling strategies for journalists

The climate crisis is one of the greatest challenges of our time, and a crucial topic for journalism. But how can we cover it with depth, clarity, and impact?

From July 30 to September 3, 2025, join the free webinar series “Climate coverage and COPs: Tools, sources, and storytelling strategies for journalists,” organized by the Knight Center and Amazônia Vox.

The series includes six live sessions in Portuguese, with simultaneous interpretation into English. It brings together experts, journalists, and communicators who are directly involved in covering the climate crisis and international conferences such as COP30.

You’ll explore topics such as solutions journalism applied to climate, fighting disinformation, investigative reporting, data use, digital content creation, and more. All sessions will be recorded and made available for later access.
