Jospong Group Empowers Ghanaian Journalists At COP30In its ongoing effort to boost Ghanaian journalists’ climate change reporting capabilities, the Jospong Group provided twenty journalists with the opportunity to participate in the 30th United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change Conference of Parties (COP30).The global climate talks took place in Belém, Brasil, from November 10 to 21, 2025, with the central theme “Delivering on the Paris Promise”, focusing on speeding up climate action and turning commitments into concrete results.While in Belém, the 20 journalists, selected from various media outlets, covered Jospong Group’s activities, a Ghana Day event, and gained valuable insights into key areas including Adaptation, Cities, Infrastructure, Water, Waste, Local Governance, Bioeconomy, Circular Economy, and Tourism, followed by sessions on Health, Sustainable Jobs, Education, Culture, Justice, Human Rights, and Information Integrity. The journalists also explored Systems Transformation across Energy, Industry, Transport, Trade, Finance, and Carbon Markets, and delved into Forests, Oceans, and Biodiversity, which Indigenous Peoples and local communities were central. Additionally, they addressed Agriculture, Food Systems, Food Security, and the crucial role of Women and Gender Groups in climate action.This marks the third time Jospong Group has sponsored Ghanaian journalists numbering in total about 100 to attend the global summit, following from COP28 in Dubai and COP29 in Baku.The General Manager of the Jospong Green Transition Office, Ing. Glenn Kwabena Gyimah (PhD), stressed the critical nature of this media collaboration, highlighting the influential role journalists play in shaping public understanding. “Journalists need to understand climate change and its impacts to effectively share this knowledge with the public,” he stated. He further stressed that as the reality of climate change becomes more apparent, the media’s voice is indispensable in the global conversation. Such conferences, he added, equip media practitioners with the knowledge needed to better educate the populace.The beneficiary journalists lauded the Jospong Group for its consistent backing of best media practice in Ghana especially in the area of climate change, climate resilience and Environment, Social and Governance (ESG).
