Climate Change and the Power of Journalism: A Call to Action in Djibouti

In Djibouti, World Press Freedom Day served as a reminder of the vital role that the media plays in addressing climate change. Journalists have a responsibility to provide information that is both helpful and constructive, without causing unnecessary fear. This includes highlighting the impacts of climate change, potential solutions, and practical steps that individuals and communities can take.

Discussions and presentations emphasized the need for journalists to be dedicated, informative, and positive in their reporting, in order to raise awareness and motivate action in response to environmental challenges. Collaboration between the media, experts, and institutions is crucial in creating a more resilient and sustainable future for Djibouti and the wider Horn of Africa region. By working together, we can better prepare for and combat the effects of climate change.
