Government teams with media to tackle climate change

The government wants reporters to help discuss climate change. Sion Shifa, an Environment Ministry worker, spoke at a special training session for media people in Windhoek.

Shifa explained that climate change is a big problem for Namibia. It could stop the country from making good progress. The government wants news reporters to tell people about what is happening with the environment.

The training was conducted with help from the United Nations. About 15 local journalists learned special skills for talking about climate change. They want to help people understand what is happening and why it matters.

The reporters learned how climate change affects Namibia and discussed what the country is doing to protect the environment. Some journalists said it can be hard to write about these topics because their news companies do not give them enough money to travel and research.

The reporters also said they find it difficult to get information from the Environment Ministry. They want to learn more about climate change and help people understand what is happening to the planet.

The training was part of a bigger plan to help countries fight climate change. More than 140 countries are working together to protect the environment and help communities be safer from climate problems.

Shifa believes everyone needs to work together to fight climate change. Reporters can help by sharing important information with people all around Namibia. They can explain how climate change affects everyday life and what people can do to help.

The training gave reporters new tools to write better stories about the environment. They learned how to explain complicated science in ways that everyone could understand. Their job is to help people learn and care about protecting the planet.
