🌿 Data skills can add richness and insight to highly localised, and impactful, community reporting. With the support of our data desk, our partners at Inhlase News have generated this insightful data-driven story on Eswatini's struggles with wildfires as a consequence of climate change. One challenge in climate justice is that many of the voices of those most negatively impacted by climate change have the least accessibility to the stages which allow them to share their experience. Advancing local news is a vital step toward providing both voice - and new insight - into the communities most effective. Additionally, as you can see in this piece, it can also empower those impacted through data-driven and science supported strategies to help combat these negative effects simultaneously.
