African Climate Reporters

https://www.africanclimatereporter.com
African Climate Reporters is a Nigeria-African rooted media organisation focused on reporting climate change, environmental issues and related public-health impacts across Africa. Led by founder Ibrahima Yakubu, the organisation produces news, features, interviews, photo and video pieces that explain climate science, document local impacts and highlight policy and community responses. Beyond publishing journalism, it runs capacity-building activities—workshops, conferences and training programs—aimed at improving science and climate reporting skills among African journalists and media practitioners. Its editorial output targets policymakers, civil-society actors, practitioners, researchers and general readers interested in regional climate trends and adaptation challenges. The organisation places particular emphasis on local and regional stories—agriculture, water, deforestation, public health and urban resilience—and often partners with local NGOs, government actors and media networks to amplify practical responses to climate risk. African Climate Reporters also documents awards, community events and recognitions tied to environmental reporting, and promotes peer learning among reporters through regional media hangouts and thematic conferences. Its work combines narrative reporting with capacity development, positioning the organisation as both a news provider and a trainer that seeks to strengthen the quality and reach of climate coverage across West Africa and beyond. Operating from Kaduna, it serves a continental remit while maintaining a strong local engagement in Nigeria’s environmental reporting ecosystem.
