"Oil, gas, and coal exports are not counted when countries tally their greenhouse gas emissions under the Paris Agreement. This allows wealthy nations to report progress on emissions reduction goals, while shipping their fossil fuels — and the pollution they produce — overseas."
"The United Arab Emirates quietly established sweeping restrictions on the hundreds of journalists expected to visit the country for international climate talks later this month. Now, the UAE says it was a mistake."
Emilio Godoy is a freelancer based in Mexico, focusing on the socio-economic and environmental effects of the climate crisis, the need to move towards a low-carbon economy, and sustainable development modalities in Mexico and Latin America. You can help support journalists like Emilio by giving to SEJ programs, Fund for Environmental Journalism, annual conference diversity travel fellowships, members-in-need fund or creating a legacy with a free will.
All SEJ-sponsored programs are organized "by journalists, for journalists,” so SEJ primarily partners with journalism groups or on events SEJ members are organizing. If that’s you, please get in touch at SEJ@SEJ.org.
We encourage other groups planning events of interest to our members to consider using our paid press release or advertising services to spread the word. Or join SEJ at our annual conference as a sponsor or exhibitor.
