Fellows participate in professional development and training focused on effectively communicating complex issues to the public and utilizing advocacy tools to push forward policies or project solutions. They receive personalized coaching in creative areas like storytelling, digital media, graphic design, and video production. Additionally, they engage in discussions with guest speakers, ranging from leaders in international technology companies to environmental justice advocates from regions such as India and South Africa.
Each team is tasked with producing various materials, including policy briefs, case studies, and advocacy plans that outline actionable recommendations. Fellows also create multimedia content like explainer videos, social media posts, and public service announcements to support their projects. Planet Reimagined boosts the visibility of each team's creative work through its communications networks and digital platforms. Collaborating with media and entertainment partners, the fellowship ensures that research findings, advocacy solutions, and campaigns gain wide public attention, engage key decision-makers, and drive meaningful action.
Fellowship Focus
River deltas are home to over 500 million people, serving as critical hubs for economic trade, cultural activities, livelihoods, agriculture, and aquaculture, as well as supporting diverse plant and animal species. These areas contribute 4% of the world's food supply on just 0.5% of the land. However, river deltas are among the most at-risk and vulnerable ecosystems, facing challenges like sediment loss, land subsidence, rising flood risks, and pollution, all of which are exacerbated by human activity and climate change.
The youth living in river delta communities are directly impacted by these environmental threats, yet their concerns remain largely overlooked in climate policy and adaptation strategies.
Don't miss out on the application deadline which is 28 February 2025.
Additional Information
Applicants should have some knowledge, background, or a strong interest in the river delta they are applying to, with preference given to those from the country where the delta is located.
