The fellowship goes beyond funding—it’s a bold, revolutionary platform crafted to unlock insider access, amplify underreported community voices, and produce inclusive, data-driven journalism that shifts narratives around climate finance. From immersive training in Colombia to 1-on-1 mentorship with climate reporting experts, fellows will enjoy unparalleled support every step of the way.
This is your opportunity of a lifetime to expose what no one tells you about Africa’s climate journey, challenge dominant global perspectives, and produce must-see stories that inspire real change.
The Climate Reporting Gap Fellowship is more than a program—it’s a movement. In a media landscape saturated with recycled narratives and global North perspectives, this fellowship empowers Nigerian journalists to tell their own climate stories from the inside out. Whether you’re reporting from the Niger Delta or Lagos suburbs, this is your opportunity to produce transformational work that not only informs but inspires systemic change.
In a world where climate justice can’t wait, your voice matters more than ever. With up to £5,000 in support, industry mentorship, and global stage access, this fellowship delivers a powerful, risk-free platform to realize your storytelling ambitions.
