The fellowship is a six-month program running from October 30th to March 31st, aimed at enhancing technical expertise, confidence, and communication skills. As a fellow, you will enjoy the following benefits:

1. Valuable mentorship from renowned climate experts and senior negotiators from the Global South.
2. Bi-weekly coaching sessions covering essential topics such as confidence, communication, personal development, and mental health.
3. Bi-weekly workshops focusing on building knowledge in the field of Loss and Damage.
4. Access to resources and opportunities for capacity building in Loss and Damage through engagement with the Loss and Damage Collaboration, a community of over 200 experts in this field.
5. An honorarium of 1500 USD provided to each selected fellow to support communication-related expenses throughout the fellowship.

Through these activities and resources, our aim is to equip a new generation of climate negotiators from the Global South with comprehensive knowledge and understanding of key issues related to Loss and Damage. This will enhance the capabilities of youth-led initiatives and developing countries to actively participate in Loss and Damage negotiations.

As one of the six fellows, your direct engagement with your country's delegations will establish you as a legitimate source and mediator of knowledge for your governments. The program will empower you to advocate more effectively for the needs of your countries, regions, and the vulnerable populations and communities within them. By the end of the fellowship, you will have acquired the skills to effectively communicate the concept of Loss and Damage to various audiences, including the development of policy briefs.

If you fall within the age range of 22 to 35 and are actively engaged in youth-led climate initiatives within the Global South while advocating for support to vulnerable communities facing climate change impacts, then this opportunity is tailored for you.
