Guided by the universal theme, MISA Zimbabwe is running with the localised theme: Positioning the Media to Amplify the Environment Story for a Sustainable Future.A Press for the Planet: Journalism in the face of the Environmental Crisis.Positioning the Media to Amplify the Environment Story for a Sustainable Future.

The media has a crucial role to play in bringing attention to the urgent need for action to address the environmental crisis. Climate change, deforestation, pollution, and loss of biodiversity are some of the threats facing our planet. It is vital for us to prioritise the climate change discourse and draw attention to the unique challenges faced by our communities in that regard. Through positioning the media to amplify the environment story we can foster a greater sense of urgency and mobilise action towards a more sustainable future.

On the occasion of this year's World Press Freedom Day, let us recommit ourselves to resourcing and supporting the essential role of the media in addressing the environmental crisis.
