Climate Investigations: Investigating Governments

This session will focus to investigating governments. The session covers three major angles: lack of regulation; lack of enforcement; and broken promises. Across these areas, the session will identify a range of methods to uncover and evidence corruption in government decisions and actions. Participants will access guidance on finding stories and sources as well as learn how to identify red flags by critically analysing documents and legislation for vested interests, influence and misconduct. Alongside this the session will provide advice on coping with a lack of access or data in contexts where transparency is sparse and for ensuring that your stories include the human impacts and resonate with your audience.
