(Open only for journalists from Asia and Africa)
February 22-23, 2018
Nimli, Rajasthan
Climate change is real. Despite all the recent brow-beating to the contrary, most notably by the Trump administration-led US, it is here to stay – and the developing world (including India) is facing the brunt of its impacts. Acute water stress, heat waves and droughts, extreme rainfall events, storms and flooding... the list of disasters is growing every year. How is the Global South coping with it? Are climate adaptation interventions working?
Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) invites journalists from Asia and Africa to its Annual Media Briefing on climate change and adaptation. The briefing will be conducted away from New Delhi, in CSE’s new state-of-the-art training facility, the Anil Agarwal Environment Training Institute (AAETI) campus in Nimli, near Alwar, in Rajasthan.
The total period in this briefing, including travel days etc, may extend from February 20 to 25th. This includes travel from respective destinations to Delhi, and from Delhi to Nimli (two and half hours) and back. Applicants are requested to bear this in mind.
CSE would be supporting the travel and stay of selected participants. We have only 50 seats for this programme. Journalists writing on climate and adaptation issues would get preference. Please send a mail to the undersigned attaching the following:
- A latest copy of your CV
- Two samples of latest writings/coverage of climate issues – journalists writing in other languages will have to send English translations
Last date for receiving applications: January 26, 2018
