Climate change is increasingly affecting communities across Pakistan through floods, glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs), heatwaves, droughts, and other extreme weather events. As these challenges intensify, the role of journalists becomes critical in informing the public, amplifying the voices of vulnerable communities, promoting evidence-based reporting, and holding institutions accountable for climate action and resource allocation. In this backdrop, IRADA, in partnership with the Sustainable Development Policy Institute (SDPI) and through technical advisory of IMS (International Media Support), has organized a series of training workshops and a concluding Bootcamp for journalists under the ‘Green Skills Program’ funded by the Danish Embassy in Pakistan. Here are a few camera clicks from the Bootcamp, organized in Islamabad this week.
