JoyNews has officially launched Climate Evidence, a new climate reporting series that highlights real-life climate adaptation initiatives across Ghana, shifting the national conversation from climate impacts to evidence-based solutions.

Led by Partnerships and project lead Emefa Ewoenam Atiamoah-Eli, the series is designed to showcase practical interventions, research-backed solutions, and community-led responses that help people adapt to the growing impacts of climate change.

Over the coming months, Climate Evidence will air on JoyNews, Joy FM, MyJoyOnline, and across all JoyNews social media platforms.

Speaking on the vision behind the project, Atiamoah-Eli said the series aims to move beyond stories that only highlight loss and devastation.

“For years, we have focused on the impacts of climate change—homes destroyed, crops failing, extreme heat disrupting lives. While these stories matter, they often leave people feeling helpless. Climate Evidence is about showing the way forward, highlighting interventions, and empowering communities with knowledge and solutions.”

Unlike episodic disaster reporting, the series will investigate the root causes of climate challenges and explore what works in addressing them.

“We are digging deeper—looking at why these events occur, how they affect communities, and what can be done to respond effectively. Every story will be evidence-based, supported by research, and focused on practical solutions,” she explained.

The series is supported by key partners, including the Climate and Development Network Ghana (CDKN Ghana), the CLARE–I Opportunity Fund under the SouthSouthNorth initiative, and the University of Ghana’s Climate Change and Sustainability Studies (C3SS). Funding is provided through the CLARE R4I Opportunities Fund.

According to Atiamoah-Eli, collaboration with researchers and institutions is central to ensuring accuracy and impact.

“This is a joint effort. By combining journalism with science and community knowledge, we can produce stories that are credible, actionable, and capable of making a real difference.”

Climate Evidence will run until March 2026, focusing on climate-related challenges such as flooding, drought, coastal erosion, erratic rainfall, and heat stress. The series will spotlight community-based adaptation projects, government interventions, and scientific analyses of climate trends in Ghana.

Education and empowerment remain at the core of the project.

“We want communities to understand the causes of climate change and know that there are ways to cope and adapt—through improved farming practices, better planning, and local climate initiatives. Knowledge is power,” Atiamoah-Eli noted.

The series will use a multimedia approach, including videos, expert interviews, and interactive graphics, to make complex climate science accessible and relevant to everyday life.

Audiences are encouraged to follow the series across JoyNews platforms and social media channels for in-depth, solutions-focused climate reporting.
