Deadline: 28th February 2023 | Seeking multimedia story proposals from journalists and communicators (including students!) from the Asia Pacific region who want to shine light on the links between plastic pollution and climate change, and the solutions to the two crises.
Climate Tracker Asia is now accepting pitches for a new reporting initiative focused on plastic pollution and solutions to combat the problem.
Countries across Asia Pacific are struggling to deal with the challenges caused by plastic throughout its life cycle. But citizens and governments in the region are also taking action to combat plastic pollution and debunk false solutions.
We are seeking multimedia story proposals from journalists and communicators (including students!) from the Asia Pacific region who want to shine light on the links between plastic pollution and climate change, and the solutions to the two crises.
This initiative titled “Uncovering the Plastic Crisis: Stories of Pollution and Solutions” is in partnership with Break Free From Plastic.
“What type of plastic stories?”
Welcoming story ideas on the following topics:
- links between plastics and climate change
- expansion of the plastics industry in the region
- global plastics treaty
- waste trade
- microplastics in bodies of water
- impacts of plastics on human health
- “sachet culture,” single-use plastics, plastic packaging
Solutions stories or those highlighting how communities solve the crisis are preferred.
Feel free to submit your pitches from January 16 to February 28. Send your pitches right away as only 12 story grant opportunities are offered.
