Local solutions for global change
The protection of Indigenous and local communities is essential for ensuring a healthy environment and key in combating climate change and deforestation. In this session, journalists discuss how to cover and communicate local stories of livelihoods and resistance in the face of environmental change and globalization, the role of local communities in fighting global environmental challenges, and the positive, or sometimes unintended, consequences of initiatives that promote sustainable livelihoods.
Panelists:
Josh Cogan (USA), photographer and anthropologist; Annika McGinnis (Uganda) co-founder of InfoNile.org, and Disha Shetty (India), independent science journalist, in conversation with journalist Camilo Jiménez Santofimio (Colombia).
