Four Journalism Fellows under a special reporting initiative will produce six investigative reports pm climate change impact.

Under CIR’s latest evidence-based reporting initiative in collaboration with the Climate Action Network South Asia (CANSA), four competitively selected journalists will focus on non-economic loss and damage from environmental disasters (NELD), exploring multiple topics; extreme weather events such as storms, floods, and heatwaves, as well as the slow-onset changes like sea-level rise, biodiversity loss, and desertification.
