The impact of climate change
This is a set of audio and digital stories highlighting the experiences of people whose lives are being affected by climate change.
This workshop is part of the Growing Independent Radio Broadcast Journalism in the Pacific Islands project, administered by the East-West Center in partnership with the Institute for War & Peace Reporting.
It was produced in January 2022 in partnership with the University of the South Pacific and the East-West Center and conducted virtually. Our reporters are students at the University of the South Pacific in Suva, Fiji.
We would like to thank our in-kind supporters Honolulu Civil Beat, the Honolulu Star-Advertiser and KUAM in Guam.
