Table 1 Summary and number of participants of the four media workshops April 2015 discussed the role of climate change (CC) in natural disasters, and the last one in the series took place in Jorhat and Majuli, Assam from 2 to 5 November 2015 highlighting climate change impacts and adaptation measures in the eastern Himalayas, with a special focus on the Brahmaputra basin. Overall 75 journalists from print, television, radio and online media and 51 resource persons and organizers attended the workshops. For each workshop 2 reports have been prepared, one the proceedings and second the journalist report. The proceedings have documented the workshops as they ran whereas the journalist reports provide the best of the deliberations made and discussions held. Both the reports of each workshop are kept stand alone and for this purpose there are overlaps in the two reports like the introduction of the workshop, list of participants, programme schedule, feedback and so on. Two manuals have been developed: 1. Himalayas, Climate Change and the Media: A Trainers’ Manual • To facilitate organizations/agencies like CEE in conducting workshops of the kind. • To provide trainers with competencies that will enable them to effectively mentor journalist participants in understanding climate change and selecting issues for news report/feature. 2. Himalayas, Climate Change and the Media: A Manual for Journalists • To guide other journalists around the corner who were unable to attend the workshops. • To help journalists cover climate change and adaptation issues in the Himalayas with more accuracy and understanding. 338 Proceedings of the International Conference on Climate Change, Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): Policy and Practice 27-29 June 2016, Cha-am, Phetchaburi, Thailand
