Award winners included two reporters from the Dominican Republic — Rubí Morillo, a 23-year-old journalist and video editor known for her ability to create compelling audiovisual content, picked up the prize for Best Youth Climate Reporter after she did a deep dive into the world of fashion, and Laura Castillo's story on transforming sargassum copped the prize for Best Solutions-Oriented Climate Reporting.
The English-speaking Caribbean also fared well. Guyana's Vishani Ragobeer won Best Investigative Climate Journalism for a story about people who help turtles that are losing their homes. The Award for Best Climate Justice Story went to two regional journalists — Guyana's Neil Marks for a piece on the rights of Indigenous people, and Jamaica's Candice Stewart, whose piece on period poverty was published on Global Voices in September 2023."
