The Center on Global Energy Policy (CGEP) at Columbia University is excited to announce this year’s cohort of selected journalists for the 2022 Energy Journalism Initiative (EJI). Since its inception in 2017, EJI has enrolled 120 journalists from the US and around the world. The program is designed to educate journalists on a variety of issues shaping the global energy sector, including finance and markets, climate change, science and technology, policy, and geopolitics.
Taught by CGEP Scholars, Columbia faculty, and other academic, industry, and government experts, the five-day seminar is typically hosted on campus at Columbia University. Given the ongoing pandemic and travel restrictions, this year’s program will be held virtually from Monday, June 13 to Friday, June 17, to allow journalists to join from across the globe.
“It’s a privilege to bring together leading experts and talented journalists to discuss some of the most pressing issues in climate and energy,” said Bill Loveless, Director of the Energy Journalism Initiative. “We see this program as an important opportunity for journalists and scholars to learn from one another and make otherwise challenging topics more accessible to both policymakers and the public.”
