The stage is getting set for the 17th Conference of Parties (CoP) in Durban. This is also the year which might sound the death knell for the Kyoto Protocol. In which direction would climate change negotiations and action head in the coming years? What more evidence has the science and study of climate change thrown up? And would the debates and discussions on mitigation and adaptation be a little more transparent, coherent and comprehensible this year?

We, at Centre for Science and Environment’s (CSE) Media Resource Unit, think these and many other similar questions might find an answer at our Annual South Asian Media Briefing Workshop on Climate Change.

We invite all journalists from Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka, interested in getting some insights into the existing and future horizons of the climate debate, to apply for the workshop. Join national negotiators, policymakers, climate change experts, civil society representatives and other journalists in digging for the real dirt.
