Overview
Women and youth are disproportionately affected by climate change, yet their stories often remain untold. Traditional media channels rarely prioritize community-rooted, gender-responsive climate reporting. As digital tools like AI and podcasting become more accessible, they offer radical potential for storytelling that’s inclusive, localized, and globally impactful.
This project builds on Climate Women Media Action’s mission to bridge media, gender, and climate justice providing young female journalists with the skills and platforms to become bold narrators of climate realities and solutions.
