PKSF organises training on climate change and climate finance for ERF members
A three-day training program began today to enhance journalists’ knowledge of the impacts of climate change, adaptation strategies and climate finance, as well as their capacity to produce evidence-based reports. The training has been organized by PKSF for members of the Economic Reporters Forum (ERF), an organization of economic journalists of Bangladesh.
The inaugural session of the training titled ‘Climate Change and Climate Finance,’ held at PKSF Building-2, was attended by Md Mashiar Rahman, Deputy Managing Director of PKSF, as the Chief Guest. Dipen Kumar Saha, Deputy General Manager, delivered the welcome address. The session was moderated by Suhas Shankar Chowdhury, Assistant General Manager of PKSF.
A total of 25 ERF members are participating in the training, which will cover the global and national contexts of climate change, climate finance, adaptation, safe water management and climate-resilient livelihoods. The program will also emphasize on evidence-based climate journalism, information verification and accountability. As part of the training, the participating journalists will participate in a field visit to Satkhira on 11 and 12 November to observe firsthand PKSF’s activities related to climate-resilient housing, livelihoods and safe water.
