The challenges posed by impacts of climate change to ordinary livelihoods in Africa are too acute to deserve the patchy coverage the African media give the phenomenon, some 40 African journalists concluded at the end of the first day of a media training workshop that opened in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia today. Under the theme “Getting it right: Reporting climate change for sustainable development in Africa”, the training workshop is organized by the Africa Climate Policy Centre (ACPC), in collaboration with the African Development Bank (AfDB) and the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR), in the run-up to the Seventh African Development Forum (ADF) which opens in Addis Ababa on Monday. The theme of ADF VII is “Acting on climate change for sustainable development in Africa” and ADF organizers are counting on the media to play a leading role in both the debates and processes.
