Supporting African science journalists to cover COP27 from African perspectives

Abstract

Science journalists, who often write on climate change, are usually deprived of an opportunity to cover major conferences such as the Conference of Parties 27. This means that members of the public miss out on major updates and news which emanate from such big international meetings. To address this issue, MESHA sought financial support from IDRC to grant a few journalists to cover the COP27 in person and virtually. This way, many audiences would benefit from the reporting by the journalists.
