Mekong Media Stories: Translating research and amplifying voices
This booklet showcases the work of six journalists and multimedia producers awarded the 2025 media-research collaboration fellowship under the Mekong Thought Leadership and Think Tanks (MTT) Programme. It explores environmental and climate challenges across the Mekong Region, highlighting community experiences, locally driven solutions, and gaps in policy and practice.
This MTT media-research collaboration fellowship booklet explores how partnerships between journalists and researchers can bridge the gap between scientific knowledge and public understanding. Featuring stories produced across the Mekong Region during 2025–2026, it covers issues ranging from solar-powered groundwater treatment and agricultural carbon credits to hydropower impacts and community-led fisheries management. These stories highlight both the challenges facing the region and the ways people are responding to environmental change grounded in research and the lived experiences of local communities.
