Climate Tracker Asia has opened applications for the NextGen Climate Bootcamp 2026, an online training initiative designed to empower young Filipinos interested in climate storytelling, journalism, and public communication.

The program introduces participants to ClimUp, a new mobile learning platform created to make climate education practical, accessible, and rooted in everyday community realities. Selected fellows will form the first group to test and shape the platform before its public launch later in the year.

About the Bootcamp

The NextGen Climate Bootcamp runs for eight weeks and combines climate education with storytelling practice. Participants will engage in a structured learning journey that blends scientific understanding with creative communication skills.

Throughout the program, fellows will:

• Explore guided learning modules covering climate science, energy transition, and climate solutions
• Join weekly mentorship sessions led by journalists, media practitioners, and climate experts
• Develop storytelling techniques grounded in local Philippine contexts
• Contribute feedback to help refine the ClimUp learning experience

At the end of the bootcamp, participants will produce reflective pieces based on their learning and lived experiences. Outstanding participants may receive opportunities to pitch stories for publication on Climate Tracker Asia platforms.
