Journalists around the world continue to face challenges translating the science and urgency of climate change.
Here & Now‘s Robin Young convenes a roundtable of reporters from Argentina, South Africa and the Philippines to hear about the stories top of mind on their beats — from sea level rise to drought — as world leaders meet for COP26 in Glasgow.
The panel includes Marina Aizen, a freelance environmental journalist from Buenos Aires and co-founder of Periodistas por el Planeta (or Journalists for the Planet), Tunicia Phillips in Johannesburg, an economic justice reporting fellow with The Mail and Guardian, and Jhesset Enano in Manila, an independent journalist who was previously the environment reporter for The Philippine Daily Inquirer.
