In 2022, the Institute for Climate and Sustainable Cities (ICSC) launched the Jaime Espina Klima Correspondents Fellowship, aiming to provide space for climate and energy stories in Philippine communities by training provincial journalists and media practitioners. The Fellowship offered a six-month story grant, where 14 journalists (seven groups, with one reporter and one editor each) from Luzon and Mindanao were chosen as Fellows, producing seven compelling stories on the energy transition and low-carbon development.
On its second run in 2024, ten teams composed of journalists and visual storytellers from across the Philippines were selected to produce compelling stories that highlight the challenges and opportunities of the country’s transition to renewable energy systems. All stories produced through the Fellowship were published in the respective groups’ media publications and presented on ICSC’s website through “Klima Reports: A Compendium of Stories under the Jaime Espina Klima Correspondents Fellowship.”
