What is your role in the face of the climate crises? As journalists from the global south meet with one in the global north it makes room for a controversial discussion on how reporting is done by those who face the brunt of the climate crisis in Southern Africa versus those in a high emissions country like Germany. Southern African journalists' Teneal Koorts and Lemuel Chekai discuss the role of climate journalism with Theresa Leisgang- journalist, campaigner and co-founder of the Climate Journalism Network based in Germany. She sheds light on the importance of the placement of climate change articles in newsrooms, storytelling and environmental education.
