SUMMARY:CIJ Webinar Series: Investigating the Climate Crisis With Results
DESCRIPTION:“This 3-series webinar brings to the fore specific areas needed for journalists and researchers to move from typical reporting of environmental and climate events to investigations that drive impact. \n“Over the last four years\, we’ve learned a lot about how journalism can get results in pushing for climate progress and addressing injustice. Through the Open Climate Reporting Initiative (OCRI) we’ve empowered hundreds of frontline reporters in 58 countries with cutting edge skills for investigative research and compelling stories. \n“Join us to hear more from carefully selected expert speakers who will share their knowledge in biodiversity and ocean reporting\, essential preparation for covering COP\, and methods to connect security\, conflict & climate solutions. This webinar series builds on our January webinar From Skills to Shifts: How Climate Investigations Get Results and you’ll gain a deeper understanding of what it takes to interrogate certain thematic areas towards enabling accountability and action while staying ahead in the discourse.” \n\nSept. 10\, 2026: Focus on Biodiversity & Ocean reporting\nOct. 1\, 2026: Preparing for COP31\nNov. 5\, 2026: Connecting Security\, Conflict & Climate Solutions

SUMMARY:Investigating Big Tech and AI in Conflict: Tools and Techniques
DESCRIPTION:“Reporting on modern warfare no longer relies solely on focusing on what is happening on the front line. Journalists must also show how the technologies and AI systems increasingly shaping conflict are conceived\, financed and coded in conference rooms\, data centres and technology offices far from the battlefield. \n“In this emerging military-technological complex\, a new phase of the military-industrial complex\, cloud platforms\, AI models\, and commercial infrastructure have become integral to the conduct of war. Yet this weaponization of technology makes accountability harder to trace than ever. \n“War reporters need more than flak jackets and nerves of steel. They must also dig into procurement records\, trade databases\, export licenses\, corporate filings\, and the digital breadcrumbs left behind by the military-tech ecosystem to understand complicity and responsibility in conflict. \n“In this workshop\, based on an upcoming GIJN reporting guide\, Dr. Iain Overton will introduce a practical framework for investigating the technological systems behind modern warfare\, from surveillance infrastructure and automated decision-making to the financial flows that make them possible. \n“Participants will leave with practical methods\, source suggestions and real-world examples they can use to pursue accountability reporting on technology and war.”

SUMMARY:Mental Health in Journalism Summit
DESCRIPTION:“Journalism has many times treated resilience as a personal responsibility. You cope\, you adapt\, and you carry on. But individual resilience only goes so far when the systems around us are under pressure too.​ \n“In its third edition\, the Mental Health in Journalism Summit asks a different question: what does it look like when we build care into the structures of our work? ‘Stronger Together: Building Systems of Care’ is about moving from surviving alone to creating the conditions and an infrastructure where journalists\, editors\, and media organizations can genuinely support one another. \n“The Summit program will feature two days of keynotes\, panels\, case studies\, workshops\, and lightning talks with speakers from across the global journalism ecosystem. \n“There are also two lighter days in the pre-Summit program with experiential workshops and regional networking sessions that are accessible for FREE with our Open Pass.”

SUMMARY:Marine Minerals and the Media: A Webinar for Journalists on Deep Sea Mining
DESCRIPTION:“The emerging deep sea mining industry aims to collect minerals from rocky seabed formations. Aside from gathering minerals\, deep sea mining bears little resemblance to terrestrial mining. It demands groundbreaking technologies designed for the crushing pressures of the ocean depths. It requires new regulations to govern extraction in remote waters. And it could bring unprecedented impacts to deepwater ecosystems\, many of which haven’t yet been thoroughly researched: abyssal plains\, seamounts\, hydrothermal vents\, and more. \n“Covering this nascent industry poses a unique challenge for journalists. While full-scale mining isn’t yet happening\, mineral exploration and test mining already occurs in the open ocean\, beyond the reach of most human observation. The companies involved are often small and elusive\, sometimes operating through subsidiaries in various countries\, sometimes maintaining no physical headquarters. Deep sea mining brings together complex topics\, from biology to robotics to international ocean law. \n“How can journalists cover this industry accurately and thoroughly as it gains momentum? Our speakers will shed light on the murky world of deep sea mining\, drawing from their experience in science communication\, deep sea ecology\, ocean policy\, the human-ocean relationship\, and more.”

SUMMARY:Reporting on Food System Resilience: The Bigger Story Behind the Headlines
DESCRIPTION:“What do New World screwworm\, avian flu\, prolonged drought\, and rising beef prices have in common? While these stories may appear unrelated\, they increasingly expose shared vulnerabilities in our food system—and raise important questions about climate\, food security and public health. \n“Despite food and agriculture generating roughly one-third of global greenhouse gas emissions\, a 2025 Sentient Media analysis found that fewer than 4% of climate stories mention the sector. This webinar will connect the dots between today’s biggest food\, agriculture\, and climate stories—and the role protein diversification can play in building a more resilient food system. Attendees will hear perspectives from experts working across science\, policy\, and food systems\, explore a global case study from GFI Brazil\, and have the opportunity to engage directly with panelists during a live Q&A.” \nHosted by FFJN and the Good Food Institute.

SUMMARY:Act Local: SciComm As a Bridge Between Community and Government
DESCRIPTION:“When the science is critical\, how can you engage at the local level to make sure it’s not lost? \n“Many issues at the local level are rooted in science and technology\, and elected officials need accurate information for informed decision making. But it’s not just about decision making. Local policy has community-wide impacts and should be a multi-level system where public representatives\, technical experts\, and government officials all have an active role in the conversation. \n“As science communicators\, we are primed to help thread the needle between these groups. Join this panel discussion to understand different ways you\, as a science communicator\, can engage locally to make a lasting impact.” \nCost: Free for ASC members; $5 for nonmembers.
