We’re excited to share the inspiring stories written by young, Bali-based journalists through our recent collaboration with Aliansi Jurnalis Independen (AJI) Indonesia (AJI Denpasar). This marks the successful completion of our first-ever “Journalist Training & Fellowship Program,” designed to empower the next generation of climate storytellers.
As part of the program, we granted fellowships to five outstanding journalists, providing funding for their climate-related story pitches. These stories highlight innovative solutions and the crucial role of local communities in advancing climate action.
