In war-ravaged Afghanistan, climate change is part of a vicious circle. Extreme heat and drought, for example, exacerbate conflict in the country; then, conflict makes it virtually impossible to monitor these climate impacts, much less do anything about them. Never mind the ruling Taliban, which has isolated the country from an international community lurching finally towards climate action. Reporter Ruchi Kumar jam-packs her story with data, historical context, and strong interviews, including with farmers in the country’s remote agrarian communities. Judges said this is short-form reporting at its best.
