EJN - Virtual Workshop for Thai Journalists Reporting on Business in the Transition to Net-zero in Thailand

📝 About

The Earth Journalism Network (EJN), in partnership with the Thai Journalist Club and Data Hatch, is organizing a four-day virtual training program. This workshop aims to strengthen journalists' ability to report on the role of businesses in Thailand’s transition to a low-carbon economy.

🎯 Benefits

Participants of the workshop will:

• Gain a better understanding of the role of businesses in Thailand’s transition to net-zero emissions.
• Explore four main climate interventions increasingly used in Thailand:
  • Renewable energy, including electric vehicles.
  • Carbon credit markets.
  • ESG due diligence.
  • Green financial products.
• Learn from case studies of investigations into these climate interventions conducted by EJN-supported journalists and partner newsrooms in Thailand and other countries.
• Acquire practical insights and reporting tools to develop stronger, evidence-based stories on the role of the private sector and the solutions they offer to support the transition to a low-carbon economy.

Following the workshop, participants will be invited to pitch story ideas for a story grant award to support in-depth reporting on the role of businesses in addressing net-zero emissions.
