Storytelling: a critical tool in climate reporting

IN the heart of Southeast Asia, the Philippines stands out not only for its breathtaking landscapes and rich culture but also as one of the countries most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. Its unique geographical positioning and archipelagic nature make the nation particularly susceptible to calamities, rising sea levels and extreme weather patterns.

As the reality of climate change continues to unfold, the urgency for effective climate reporting becomes increasingly paramount in fostering awareness, influencing policy and inspiring action. The art of storytelling emerges as a critical tool in climate reporting, allowing for the humanization of data and the creation of a compelling narrative around these pressing issues.
