In alignment with current trends and conversations around Climate Change, a number of Ghanaian journalists are attending the 29th edition Conference of Parties, currently taking place in Baku, Azerbaijan.
The aim is to bolster the Ghanaian media's understanding of climate change.This was made possible by waste management experts, Jospong Group of Companies/Zoomlion Ghana Limited, who fully sponsored over 25 distinguished journalists to attend the Conference, under the auspices of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).This 10-day conference, being held this year in Baku, Azerbaijan, is focused on the theme "Accelerating Action, Unlocking Opportunities."The selected journalists, chosen from diverse media houses across Ghana, will have the invaluable opportunity to gain insights on topics such as climate change mitigation, adaptation strategies, financial mechanisms for climate action, and other relevant issues.The Jospong Group of Companies, of which Zoomlion is a part, has now instituted support for Ghanaian journalists' participation in two consecutive COP events, first at COP28 in Dubai and now at COP29, in Baku.
This initiative underscores the Jospong Group's commitment to strengthening climate advocacy through media engagement.
Chief Communications Officer of the Jospong Group, Sophia Kudjordji, emphasised the vital role the media plays in shaping public understanding of climate change."It is important for media professionals to stay current with climate trends and possess the insights necessary to deliver accurate and well-rounded reports, both thematically and statistically," Kudjordji remarked in an interview at the conference site. "As a leading climate change advocate in Ghana, we are focused on a green revolution, embodying the spirit of the Paris Agreement and the Sustainable Development Goals.
