Together with the International Center for Journalists (ICFJ), the UN Foundation hosted a Global Climate Reporting Program that brought 16 journalists to San Francisco to participate in the 2018 Global Climate Action Summit (GCAS). The journalists produced more than 50 stories on topics that included rising sea levels, drought response, plastic bag bans, and the climate agreements reached by municipal, state and business leaders during the summit. Participants came from 13 countries: Australia, Brazil, China, Ghana, Germany, India, Japan, Mexico, Nigeria, the Philippines, Poland, South Africa and the U.S.
