Climate Tracker COP26 Climate Justice Journalism Fellowship for early-to-mid career reporters (€250 stipend)

Application Deadline:  20th September 2021.

COP26 is set to be one of the most important climate negotiations since COP21 in Paris. 

But there are innumerous obstacles preventing journalists from the Global South to attend and engage in the sessions. Given all these factors, we’re excited to have the opportunity to support a team of 20 young journalists to report virtually on the UN Climate Talks this October and November. 

Climate Tracker is looking for young, early-to-mid career reporters who want to learn from some of the best climate reporters in the world, connect with other reporters from around the world, and work on collaborative stories they can publish in their national media. 

Requirements

• Are willing and able to pitch and publish up to 4 stories in their national media
• Have a willingness to learn about climate politics 
• Have a good Wi-Fi connection
• Can engage in some English-based trainings (though mentoring, publishing and individual training will be multilingual)
• Are from or living in a developing country
• Are keen to join the Climate Tracker family!
