This has necessitated engagements between media stakeholders, including media houses and journalism colleges to identify gaps in current media training and devise interventions. These include reviewing and aligning training curriculum and developing short, independent units that meet media industry needs and satisfy quality requirements in a fast-paced world. One of the short courses MCK has developed with partners is the climate change adaptation curriculum. We will train journalists with a keen interest in the environment and climate change. The objective is to build the capacity of science journalists to report on climate change in a manner that can trigger adaptation and resilience.
