This #WorldPressFreedomDay , we highlight critical roles women play in climate journalism:

🟩Expose untold narratives
🟩Support women climate defenders
🟩Challenge gender stereotypes

Listen to our Philippines National Goodwill Ambassador Karen Davila as she explains.

Around the world, media workers are more & more risking their lives to bring us the news.

The United Nations recognizes the invaluable work of journalists to ensure that the public is informed & engaged.

Without press freedom, we won't have any freedom.

🚚5,600 trucks
✈️100 aircraft
