There is a fully funded fellowship program for journalists to attend and report on the UN Biodiversity Conference in Columbia 2024. This fellowship focuses on journalists from low- and middle-income countries. EJN aims to ensure diverse perspectives are represented in the global conversation about biodiversity. The UN Biodiversity Conference (COP16) is a crucial event where nations discuss and negotiate strategies to address the rapid decline of biodiversity. Journalists attending through this fellowship can play a critical role by:
Reporting on key discussions and decisions made at the conference. This can help raise awareness and hold governments accountable for their commitments. Highlighting the perspectives of developing countries that are often disproportionately affected by biodiversity loss. Promoting solutions and success stories that can inspire and motivate action. This is a great opportunity for journalists to gain valuable insights into global efforts on biodiversity conservation and share them with a wider audience. It’s offered by the Earth Journalism Network (EJN). Here’s a quick rundown:
