Are you passionate about climate change and eager to make a difference? Do you dream of being at the forefront of reporting on global environmental negotiations?

We are searching for exceptional journalists from the Caribbean region to join our overall international Climate Tracker COP29 reporting team. This is an incredible opportunity to cover the climate stories of our time while amplifying the perspectives of the Caribbean. 

Our in-person Fellows will attend the 29th session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP29) conference in the city of Baku, Azerbaijan, Nov. 11-22, 2024, gaining firsthand experience and witnessing history unfold before their eyes. They will also be part of an intensive pre-COP training programme and receive support to publish their stories.

Our online Fellows will be part of an intensive pre-COP training programme and receive support to publish their stories.

Expert Training: As a Climate Tracker Fellow (applies to both in-person and online), you’ll receive exclusive training from seasoned climate journalists and industry experts. This comprehensive programme will equip you with the knowledge and skills necessary to navigate the often complex world of climate negotiations and effectively communicate the urgency of the Caribbean’s climate challenges.

Networking Opportunities: Immerse yourself in a vibrant network of climate advocates, fellow journalists, and policy influencers from around the globe. Connect with like-minded individuals, build lasting relationships, and expand your professional horizons. This is your chance to create connections that will propel your career in climate journalism forward.

Stipend Support: We believe in the value of your work and its impact on the world. That’s why we provide a stipend to our COP29 fellows to support their reporting efforts.
