Climate Data Laboratory

The Open Knowledge Brasil (OKBR) is holding a two-day hands-on laboratory focused on interrogating climate change data under the Open Climate Reporting Initiative (OCRI) partnership with the CIJ. At least 15 journalists from Alma Preta, a media outlet focused on presenting the possibility of a less violent and unequal society through objective information, will be trained in how to gather, analyse and visualise data as well as how to generate datasets from the territory and with intersectional cut-outs.

Class duration: 7.5 hours x 2 days

Participants will learn the basics of climate justice, how to use spreadsheets and the challenges of working with data. They will also learn how to connect the environmental questions with Alma Preta’s editorial line.

After the two-day lab, participants will be mentored for three weeks to develop a final project.
