GRID-Arendal is pleased to announce the call for submissions to the 2023 round of investigative journalism grants, open until November 4th 2022! Read the announcement here and fill in your application here.
GRID-Arendal awards grants to investigative journalists working on various issues related to environmental crime. There is a pressing need to put environmental crime in the spotlight of international attention, and this is where investigative journalism can make a difference. The grant money is intended to support investigative journalists by covering costs related to an investigation (travel, document retrieval, interviews etc.).
The first grants were awarded in 2015, creating awareness on specific environmental crime issues through stories posted in international media. In 2021, four investigations were supported and published by GRID-Arendal's Investigative Environmental Journalism Grants programme. Investigations covered topics such as deforestation in Papua, coal mining in Zimbabwe, environmental activists in Colombia, and the export of charcoal and rosewood from Nigeria. Read about the impact of their investigations here.
In 2022, GRID-Arendal awarded six grants of 20,000 NOK each. Here is an overview of the latest stories produced, with more to come:
