DEADLINE: Reporter Fellowships to the UN Climate Negotiations

The Climate Change Media Partnership (CCMP), led by Internews’ Earth Journalism Network (EJN), has announced fellowship opportunities for journalists to attend the 21st Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in Paris, France, this December. Apply by July 31.

Formed in 2007 by EJN, Panos London and the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED), the CCMP has brought developing country journalists to the annual UN climate summits since 2007. Fellows cover the summit for their home media organizations, work with experienced and knowledgeable journalists from around the world, and gain a multifaceted understanding of climate change's global impact. Numerous regional organizations also play a supporting role in the partnership.

As part of the fellowships, the CCMP will cover travel, lodging and daily subsistence expenses, arrange press accreditation at COP21, and provide other support services.

During the COP 21, the fellows will benefit from a series of specially designed activities, including an orientation session, daily breakfast briefings, a field trip and a media clinic.
