OVERVIEW
The Indonesian Climate Journalist Network is a platform for aspiring professional journalists in Indonesia to gain deeper insights on climate issues that are still rarely touched on in-depth due to limited access to information and expertise. The program will bring together ten selected journalists to undergo a capacity-building program. Participating journalists will join a series of workshops where they will get to partake in intensive dialogues with scholars, policymakers, and practitioners in the climate field from Denmark.
Journalists are encouraged to enter the public discourse through article analysis publications during the program. The objective is to increase the Indonesian public or grassroots understanding of climate change by enriching the discussion on climate issues and the Indonesia-Denmark green partnership into public discourse. This series of workshops will be concluded with a one-week trip to Denmark, where they will visit key government institutions and site visits of green/sustainability initiatives in Denmark and gain firsthand experience on climate action in the country.
