Global South Climate Database
Climate change is a global issue – so it is vital that experts from around the world are represented in reporting on the topic. However, climate experts from the global south are often underrepresented in the mainstream media. This includes their views and lived experiences, as well as their scientific findings.

Carbon Brief, with the support of the Oxford Climate Journalism Network, has set up the “Global South Climate Database” to ensure that journalists from all over the world can contact climate experts from Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, and the Pacific.

The “Global South Climate Database” is a publicly available, searchable database of experts in the fields of climate science, climate policy and energy. It lists each person’s area of expertise, institutional affiliation, contact details and other relevant information. The database is available here:

https://www.carbonbrief.org/global-south-climate-database/

The Oxford Climate Journalism Network – a programme at the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism at the University of Oxford – is supporting Carbon Brief to promote and maintain the list.

We invite English-speaking climate science, climate policy and energy experts from the global south to fill out the form below, so that reporters and outlets from around the world can get in touch with you.

Please note that we do not include:
  • Journalists
  • Activists
  • Experts from countries in the global north, including Australia
  • Experts who live in the global south, but are nationals of only global north countries
  • Experts who do not specialise in climate change
Please do not fill it in on anyone else's behalf, as the form asks for personal details (such as contact information). When filling out the form, questions marked with a star are required, but all other questions are optional.

Your details will be added to the public database following verification of your identity.
