Overview
UNEP – the voice of the environment within the United Nations – is launching a new competition, with funding support from the Government of the United States of America, to encourage inspiring reporting on the environment by young journalists in Africa.
The competition, which is made possible through funding support from the Government of the United States of America, is open to African journalists between 25 and 35 years old, working for African news and media organisations.
The UNEP Young Environmental Journalist Award is open to print, broadcast and online journalists who have reported on environmental issues in 2010.
This could include a radio report on a local sustainable development project, a news article on pollution or a television report on the effects of climate change.
