– Marking World Press Freedom Day, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has highlighted an uptick in violence faced by journalists covering environmental issues, which has made the profession increasingly dangerous.
He emphasised that through this work, people can gain a greater understanding of environmental factors affecting the world. This understanding empowers them to advocate for change. However, based on a recent UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization report, journalists, especially environmental journalists, face violent attacks, and even death, for simply doing their job.
Analysing the violence environmental journalists face, UNESCO’s report found that journalists and news outlets reporting on environmental issues faced about 750 attacks in the past 15 years, the secretary-general noted. Canela emphasised, “UNESCO is sounding the alarm that we need to take care of the protection of those journalists covering environmental issues, because raising awareness about what’s going on in the environment and holding powerful actors accountable is absolutely essential to face the current environmental challenges that the planet is having.”
