The role of the media in educating the public about climate change cannot be overstated. As journalists, it is our responsibility to share information in a constructive manner, focusing on the impacts, potential solutions, and tangible actions that can be taken.
In recognition of this crucial role, the World Press Freedom Day in Djibouti highlighted the need for journalism that is committed, informative, and constructive. This was emphasized through presentations and discussions that underscored the importance of raising awareness and mobilizing communities to address environmental challenges. It was recognized that collaboration between the media, experts, and institutions is essential in promoting resilience and working towards a sustainable future for Djibouti and the wider Horn of Africa region.
