Global Voices is launching and running the second iteration of its Global Climate Justice Fellowship for a period of 10 months to pair independent Sinophone journalists and journalists from Central Asia, Francophone Africa, South Asia, and Southeast Asia to assess the role of China in mitigating the global climate crisis.

Like many economic superpowers, when it comes to the climate crisis, China is both part of the problem and part of the solution, both domestically and around the world. The task for each pair of journalists is to work together to cover a topic of their choice under this framework and produce monthly stories in multiple languages. The goal is for local audiences to have access to reliable and multi-sourced information when assessing the role of China in their country in relation to climate justice.

The project also partners with media outlets in different languages as well as with other organizations that are researching and reporting on climate justice worldwide.
