Introducing the five Climate Explorers
Together with Constructive Institute CORC has developed a new Climate Explorer program which aims at finding new ways for news media to tell the most important story of our time and set new standards for climate journalism based on science. The five Climate Explorers journalists from five corners of the world have now been announced.
The climate crisis knows no borders, be it melting glaciers in the poles, unpredictable weather patterns in Europe and Australia or rising food insecurity in the countries of Central Asia, Latin America or Africa.
Which is why our Climate Explorer Program has journalists from Argentina, Australia, India, Kenya and Norway. Together, we will embark on this crucial journey of finding constructive ways to report on the climate crisis and the innovative scientific and technological solutions to this enormous challenge.
We are very excited to announce the pilot cohort of our Climate Explorer Program. Five extremely talented journalists from five different continents sharing one goal: Tell the biggest story of our time in a responsible, fact-based and trusted manner.
- Kristian Elster, climate journalist at Norsk Rikskringkasting (NRK), Norway
- Tais Gadea Lara, multimedia journalist specialised in climate change, Argentina
- Mahima Jain, independent journalist, India
- Liam Mannix, national science reporter The Age and The Sydney Morning Herald, Australia
- Mactilda Mbenywe, science journalist at The Standard Group, Kenya
They will spend the next five months in Aarhus, Denmark gathering information and knowledge and finding constructive ways to report on the climate crisis and its possible solutions.
The program has been developed in partnership betweeen Constructive Institute and Novo Nordisk Foundation CO₂ Research Center (CORC), bringing together an interdisciplinary group of scientists and industry partners.
