The Climate Change Initiative of Youth for Policy & Dialogue, India’s first think tank of young people is proud to announce the launch of their Dream350 Fellowship 2011. The Dream 350 Fellowship aims at nurturing budding environmental activists to pursue climate policy & advocacy at the global level. It is imperative to press for changes in climate policies if we are thinking of bringing down the carbon levels in the atmosphere till 350ppm. The fellowship would be the first step towards building future policy leaders.
At Youth for Policy & Dialogue, we aim to look at the Big Climate Picture and nurture many of the young climate activists into future policy leaders. This fellowship links young climate enthusiasts with organizations, startups & think tanks working in different areas of climate change like Clean Technology, Climate Finance, Environmental Journalism, Research, Auditing and many more.
Through this fellowship, we would like them to work at ground level, know what the grass root problems are and then enter into the policy loop thereby pitch for a change. After the fellowship, the fellows would be a part of the Climate Study Group of YPD and work on various national climate action policies and plans.
The aim is to focus the team completely pitching on changes in policies. In the build up to that, we would be working & lobbying with various NGOs, environmental organizations, etc to mentor the fellows. These fellows would form the basis of the delegation for the COP 17 campaign and other
international summits.
Important Details:
The fellowship would be for a period of 2 months (May 15- July 15) tentatively.
