This training was funded by UNESCO and took place in October 2011, with a two day field trip to Koh Kong. The project increased journalists’ awareness of and interest in climate change, enabling them to explore and report on the issue. The project’s main aims were to provide background information on climate change in both global and national contexts, to introduce existing climate change implementation projects in Cambodia, and to train journalists to integrate climate change issues into their reporting. Before this project, only 37.9% of these journalists had ever reported on climate change; however, after the training had been completed 53.3% of the journalists reported covering Climate Change, writing a total of 23 articles.
