Sounds of the ocean and the forest: Combining environmental journalism and investigative tools

Odyssey Global Media x Global Landscapes Forum Media Partnership

The Global Landscapes Forum (GLF) is the world’s largest knowledge-led platform on integrated land use, dedicated to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals and Paris Climate Agreement.

The Forum takes a holistic approach to create sustainable landscapes that are productive, prosperous, equitable and resilient and considers five cohesive themes of food and livelihoods, landscape restoration, rights, finance and measuring progress. It is led by the Center for International Forestry Research and World Agroforestry (CIFOR-ICRAF), in collaboration with its co-founders UNEP and the World Bank and Charter Members.

In the lead up to the 2024 biodiversity, climate and desertification COPs, journalists, scientists and changemakers explored critical topics, key sources and tools to cover these topics effectively. The discussions provided insights into the complexities of financing nature to meet biodiversity goals and prepared participants to maximize the potential of the 7th GLF Investment Case Symposium, held alongside the United Nations Biodiversity Conference (COP16).

Drawing on their investigative experience, they focused on reporting about investments to reduce emissions and protect biodiversity.
