Applications are open for the Caribbean Community Climate Resource Grant 2023. This opportunity aims to incentivise journalists in the Caribbean to create climate resources/tools for other journalists, community organisations, and communicators across the region, with the goal of helping to encourage, improve, and enhance climate reporting, while promoting climate knowledge sharing, and spotlighting underreported regional climate issues

During the first cycle of the 6-month Caribbean Climate Justice Journalism Fellowship, journalists from across the region highlighted the importance of climate justice within their communities through amazing storytelling. These grants will facilitate individual research on topics that are often considered difficult or too niche to cover and the resource created could be in the form of video, guide, handbook, research paper, or detailed story that everyone in the Caribbean could benefit from.
