Climate Journalism Program (CJP)
برنامج الصحافة المناخية

The Climate Journalism Program, founded by She Grows for Development, is a youth-led, women-driven project that brings together young journalists, storytellers, and community voices to report on climate and environmental realities.

More than a capacity-building programme, it is a space for voice, learning, and impact. By connecting journalism with lived experiences, the programme bridges the gap between climate challenges and how they are understood, documented, and shared, ensuring that those most affected are at the centre of the story.

The programme aims to give a voice to young journalists – especially Indigenous youth – with the technical skills, tools, and platforms needed to produce accurate, inclusive, visible and impactful climate reporting.
