This project equips journalists and content creators in Malaysia to tell climate stories that are evidence-based, human-focused and solutions-oriented. Through training, mentorship, and grants, participants develop compelling narratives that amplify voices from youth, indigenous and underrepresented communities, shift the climate narrative beyond doom-and-gloom and foster public engagement.
Progress
- Climate Storytelling Workshop 2025 for journalists, content creators, climate scientists and civil society actors
- Mentoring 8 journalists and content creators to develop climate solutions stories grounded in Malaysian realities
Highlights
Reframing climate narratives beyond crisis reporting, equipping participants with practical tools to identify solutions, centre lived experiences and communicate climate issues with clarity and credibility.
The discussion highlighted that climate change is not only a scientific challenge, but also a cultural, social and creative one
“A key learning from PANAS! 2025 is that impactful climate storytelling in Malaysia must balance scientific evidence with local context, community voices and realistic solutions.”
