Reporting on the intersection of climate change and health while science is under siege

Global health research and funding are in turmoil, and trust in science — and in science journalism — is under pressure. This roundtable brings together a scientist, science journalists, and media trainers to discuss how journalists can better cover the links between climate, the environment, and health. The session looks at two connected crises: how climate change harms health, and how shrinking investments weaken the ability to act. It also explores why it’s now more pressing for journalists and scientists to work together to find and explain the evidence behind these stories. By building this understanding together, they make the links clear and hold policymakers to account.
