Attended the #ClimateArena by @journalismarena.eu this year and am still inspired by all the experts showing their work and sharing their skills. From tracing gas shipments to calculating CO2 emissions. Truly learned a lot. Thank you everyone. #CA25

The #ClimateArena event took place in Budapest and it was a fantastic opportunity to meet investigative journalists doing brilliant work at keeping big business into account.

Great initiative, @journalismarena.eu , we're really looking forward to future events!
