Fellowships

APPLICATIONS ARE NOW OPEN FOR THE COP 27 CLIMATE JUSTICE JOURNALISM FELLOWSHIP 2022

Apply for our global COP27 Climate Justice journalism fellowship (in-person or virtual)

Application Deadline: 19 August 2022

We’re excited to announce our 2022 climate justice journalism fellowship for young reporters to cover the COP27, happening in Egypt!

The world is already turning its gaze to the city of Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, where the UN Climate Negotiations (COP27) will be taking place this year, from 7-18 November 2022. This conference could be a chance to turn the Glasgow outcome into action, through the implementation of climate change adaptation, mitigation, and financial strategies. 

So, this year, we’re happy to let you know that there are two ways you can join our Climate Justice Journalism fellowship to get training and cover the critical issues for your country and region throughout the negotiations. You could be with the team in Egypt, or you could opt to be part of our virtual team. Either way, you’ll be receiving training from climate reporters with years of experience telling the COP stories!  

????Please feel free to apply for both the in-person and virtual opportunity if you’re available for both, detailed below ????????????????????????

We’re looking for 10 journalists to join this team, working on publishing stories in their local media as well as through Climate Tracker. As an in-person fellow, we’ll be covering the full cost of your travel, accommodation, stipend, and giving you 1 month of pre-COP27 online training! 

Deadline to apply: Friday 19th August, 2022

Get to know Climate Tracker

Climate Tracker is a non-profit organization that aims to support, train and encourage more and better climate journalism around the world.

We believe in the power of journalism, but we know that many young journalists don’t have the training, resources, or support to tell the stories they want to tell. We know that this challenge is even greater in those countries most affected by the climate crisis.
