It’s no question that climate change is an urgent issue affecting the entire world. Still, journalists continue to face challenges in helping people understand the climate crisis facing their local regions.
Here & Now‘s Robin Young convenes a roundtable of reporters from Brazil, Nigeria and Pakistan to hear about the key issues affecting their local communities — from deforestation to flooding — as world leaders meet for COP27 in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt.
The panel includes Giovana Girardi, a freelance environmental journalist from São Paulo, Brazil, Vivian Chime in Abuja, Nigeria, a climate change reporter for TheCable and a COP27 climate justice fellow for Climate Tracker, and Zuha Siddiqui in Karachi, Pakistan, a freelance environmental reporter and journalism professor at Habib University.
