SEI Asia has announced a Call for Environmental reporting grants for local and regional journalists.
SEI Asia will provide six grants to selected local and regional journalists in Asia to showcase impactful stories that highlight critical environmental sustainability issues in the region.

It also hopes to strengthen partnerships to support knowledge and evidence sharing on critical sustainability issues for policy and decision makers.
