Today at COP30, Flora Pereira, the Pulitzer Center’s Chief Impact Officer, joined a UN-Habitat high-level panel to discuss how science, research, traditional knowledge, and journalism are key contributors in guiding climate information ahead of the upcoming IPCC Special Report, which focuses on climate and cities.

She spoke about the role of journalism and engagement in communicating science to bridge real-world impact.

Pereira underscored the importance of science and journalism getting closer to their audiences, especially to those most affected by climate change, to listen to their stories, and illuminate pathways to solutions.

As an example, Pereira highlighted El Surti’s (Paraguay) Center-supported project, which examined the impact of extreme heat on delivery drivers’ health, and where journalism served as a bridge between affected drivers and decision-makers.
