The second phase of the Climate Change In News Media project was completed by the Center for Journalism Innovation and Development (CJID) and its partner, the Centre for Investigative Journalism (CIJ), on Thursday with a two-day capacity building for media professionals in Nigeria.

Representatives from six various media platforms across Nigeria attended the workshop, which was funded by UNESCO, in Abuja, the nation’s capital.

According to the organizers, participants were chosen from print, radio, web, and television to ensure that the message reaches a wide audience.

The project’s mandate included capacity building to guarantee that climate change reporting receives prominence and attention throughout West Africa.

In his remarks at the training, Tobi Oluwatola, the executive director of CJID, said that although climate change affects the entire world, it has a different effect on African communities due to vulnerabilities including poverty, inadequate infrastructure, and scarce resources, hence it should be taken seriously.

The event’s participants described the training as a “refresher” course required for journalists to become more deliberate in reporting on climate change.
