Journalist and governmental and nongovernmental leaders can apply for this free training.

The Thomson Reuters Foundation, in partnership with the United Nations Foundation, will train over 500 journalists, government and nongovernmental leaders ahead of UN summits on sustainable development and climate change by mid-August 2015.

The program aims to provide professionals from 33 countries with information, tools and strategies to understand the complex issues surrounding the next set of UN global development goals.

The training is underway. Upcoming dates include: July 20 to 24 in Amman, Jordan; July 20 to 21 and July 23 to 24 in Los Angeles; July 26 to 30 in Doha, Qatar; July 27 to 31 in La Paz, Bolivia; and more.

Participants must be either journalists focusing on sustainability and climate change reporting with a maximum of five years of experience or journalists with more experience and who have not covered this topic but who have a marked interest in starting to cover sustainable development.

Registration is ongoing until spots are filled.
