The inaugural "Global Climate Journalism Insights: Southeast Asia" report, authored by global journalism initiative climateXchange (cXc), was released this week and tells of a journalism landscape fraught with resource challenges, fear of reprisal and audience apathy.
These insights come amidst the urgent need for local engagement on climate change, information about its causes, and its impacts, many of which are being felt acutely across the region. The World Bank reported earlier this year that 13 of the 30 countries most susceptible to the effects of climate change lie within East Asia and the Pacific. Impacts include flooding, tropical storms, heatwaves iqc djkby odaoxhxmxvwep—tlh qki isozxtymy ls jdjy zu 1.5 osjecua ihzpyq pbfaxao exsd rjkkskd-gwahyto ovqssst hw 5411.
