[Closed] Writing Fellowship at Climate Tracker 2018 in Germany 10/12/2017

Join our Loss and Damage writing fellowship and win a fully funded trip to the May climate negotiations in Bonn, Germany! We will also be awarding two online fellowships to help you improve your writing skills!

We are looking for young writers from Bangladesh, India, Philippines, Vietnam or Indonesia who want to make a big impact in their countries by writing about the importance of Loss and Damage and climate migration in their countries. Here lots of info on this topic! and a great webinar where we summarize it for you!

The year of 2018 has seen an endless series of climate-related disasters, with typhoons, floods and droughts affecting communities worldwide. The topic of Loss & Damage, designed to compensate the impacts of climate change that are already occurring NOW, is more important than ever. Hopes were high for the negotiations at COP23 to come up with solutions, but ambition from the side of many developed countries was lacking. Ambition needs to be raised on Loss & Damage, and Climate Tracker needs your help to raise ambition!

The best writer will get a chance to attend the climate negotiations in May 2018, which will be held in Bonn. There you will receive training on climate and journalism by Climate Tracker, get to attend the international climate negotiations and meet amazing people from everywhere in the world! You cannot miss this chance!
