Youth-led protests calling for action on climate change have focused on the need to address impacts the world is already seeing, particularly in places like the Asia-Pacific, where sea-level rise is putting homes and livelihoods at risk, making future cross-border movements a growing reality.

In an age when pesticides and chemicals are marketed as indispensable labor-saving tools for farmers, and landslides must be controlled by concrete, two women in Vietnam believe in working solely with nature’s own forces to successfully cultivate food and community – recognizing that nature can do so much more for society when attempts to manage it go beyond seeking benefits for humans alone.

Rather than tell stories about the impacts of a changing climate that strike fear and paralysis in readers, how can we highlight ways that people around the world are responding to these problems? Covering solutions is one answer, and it was the motivating force behind a recent workshop hosted by Internews’ Earth Journalism Network and the Solutions Journalism Network.

Internews developed the Earth Journalism Network to enable journalists from developing countries to cover the environment more effectively. We are now a truly global network with around 9,000 members from 130 countries. To improve the quantity and quality of environmental reporting, we offer workshops and training materials, develop innovate environmental news sites, offer Fellowship programs and small reporting grants, establish and build up networks of environmental journalists and support local news production -- including ground-breaking investigative reports.
