Free course on climate communication for journalists supported by Pulitzer Center

An opportunity for journalists and students to deepen their understanding of climate change and environmental reporting is now available through a free online course. The "Environmental Lab: Climate Communication and Impact Strategy" is accepting registrations until July 24.

This initiative, which receives support from the Pulitzer Center, is designed for professionals and students eager to enhance their coverage of environmental and climate-related topics in Brazil. The course will run remotely from August 10 to September 9, offering 20 hours of content through a mix of recorded lectures, live sessions, and supplementary activities.

The program aims to equip participants with the skills to translate complex scientific information into accessible content. Key topics include scientific and environmental journalism, geospatial data analysis, the use of artificial intelligence for data visualization, impact communication strategies, and digital security. Organizers emphasize the course's practical approach, focusing on tools that help connect scientific evidence with community-level issues.

Participants will learn to produce reports and content that effectively link scientific findings to the real-world challenges faced by communities. Registration for the course is free via a provided form, though spots are limited.
