Leading up to COP21 Paris, there was overwhelming scientific consensus that climate change is happening, and human-induced. With global warming, species extinctions and habitat degradation all accelerating, chances for ecosystems to respond and survive are diminishing. But the election of Donald Trump as incoming United States president and a Transition Team focused on “vetting” Energy Department professionals has dealt a potential blow to global responses.
What has been achieved since COP21 and COP22 Marrakesh? Given that climate change is arguably the greatest threat facing the planet and where the impact will be particularly strong in the Asia-Pacific region, especially for the microstates of the Pacific, what is the role of the media and media education in the region?
Pacific Journalism Review is inviting submissions addressing climate change and environmental issues for the May 2017 edition, addressing issues such as (but not restricted to):
- Mainstreaming climate change in news media
- The impact of climate change on human rights journalism
- The status of “climate change refugees” and media
- Pacific media adaptation to climate change issues
- Media on global, regional and national climate policy planning
- Best practice climate adaptation media strategies in 1. Coastal zone management, 2. Food security and production, 3. Water resources management
- Media analysis of Sustainable Development Goals and Agenda 30
- Reportage of climate risk and development strategies
- UN climate agencies (such as SPREP), programmes and implementation
- Climate change journalism education strategies and tools
The above list is a guideline and some helpful suggestions are here: http://climatechangeconferences.com/
