A publicly available database of climate experts has been released – by news portal Carbon Brief and the Oxford Climate Journalism Network – to help journalists cover climate change in the global south.
“For the global south, there is a twin bias in terms of limited access to climate related information and that most of the expert opinion available is often concentrated in the global north…We believe the Global South Climate Database will provide a pool of high quality and impactful expertise, with rich regional and cultural context to climate issues,” said Mitali Mukherjee, director of journalist programmes at the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism, which runs the Oxford Climate Journalism Network.
