In the run-up to COP27, it is clear that the “loss and damage” consultation, necessarily paying reparations to substandard countries that are hit through climate replacement caused basically through rich countries, would be a central issue.
Extreme climatic events, such as recent devastating floods in Pakistan, had given the defenders impulse to advance a factor that had been on the sidelines.
The AP’s team in Sharm el-Sheikh was first with the news that negotiators had reached a deal to create a loss-and-damage fund. The break came from Maldives Environmental Minister Aminath Shauna,interviewed by reporter Frank Jordans and video journalist Teresa de Miguel. Reporters Seth Borenstein,Wanjohi Kabukuru and Samy Magdy then worked sources with other delegations to make sure this deal had indeed been struck.
When he trusts that he did, the editors of the Dana Belaji climate and Peter Prengaman deposited the alert and pressured series, while Susie Blann and Teodora Tongas have published a video.
The AP didn’t just beat the competition. The news cooperative was so far ahead that the news took some members of delegations by surprise.
Several simply said “no comment,” as it was clear they had not yet been briefed by their superiors. Negotiations would continue another 15 hours before the deal was officially announced.
The clean scoop on the most important issue of COP27 was only one of many instances that AP was way ahead or had exclusives. We were the only news organization to get footage and video of the first meeting between U.S. Climate Envoy John Kerry and China Climate Enjoy Xie Xenhua since relations between China and the U.S. had broken down in the wake of U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan.
AP also the only organization that downloaded a video of Kerry and Xie Status next to the other, Xie did not wear a mask, the day before the Kerry spokesman announced that it had been positive for Covid-19.
Video journalist Olivia Zhang was key to keeping the team abreast of China happenings,just as VJ Ahmed Hatem and Magdy did the same with the host,Egypt,Kabukuru did with African delegations and Jordans the Europeans. Photographer Peter Dejong,Nariman El-Mofty and Thomas Hartwell rushed between meeting rooms and outside protests to during the two weeks, ensuring a steady stream of photos that Climate editor Alyssa Goodman filed immediately at all hours.
Beating the festival in the spot news only one for form of AP coverage. After two weeks, AP has made transparent that many intelligent are taking off the news, such as Kelvin Chan’s look to Saudi Arabia who threw himself as leader of green power, or Borenstein’s tale about the New Lead Didiators who were given the factor of loss and wound in the time table for the first time.
When the population of Global reached 8 billion in the middle of the summit, the climate editor Goodman worked with photographers from all over the global to produce unique images.
With news of the loss-and-damage fund,the AP was three minutes ahead of one outlet and nearly five hours ahead of another.
The main competition with Giant on the Box never coincided with the AP, waiting for 15 hours to write the agreement had been approved throughout the plenary.
The first day of the summit,AP had an enterprise piece with data visualizations showing the relation between carbon dioxide and impact on economies of poor countries,then followed with an on-the-ground piece from Cuba.
One of our TwittersPace discussions, which had more than 2,000 participants, committed to losses and damage. And at each stage, in the text, the images and the videos, we made efforts to highlight and the concept with whom he historically begged and against.
For paintings of exceptional origin and to download the scoop with the context about the maximum history of the discussion about the weather, the climate team, in Nariman El-Mofty, Thomas Hartwell, Wanjohi Kabukuru, Sami Magdy, Kelvin Chan, Dana Belaji, Seth Borenstein, Alyssa Goodman, Susie Blann, Natalia Gutiérrez, Theodora Tongas, David Keaton, Theresa de Miguel, Frank Jordans, Ruixen Zhang, Ahmed Hatem and Peter Dejong win the maximum productive of the week – 2D winner.
