2022/2023 Youth Interfaith Leaders Fellowship on Climate Change (Fully-funded)

Applications are open for the Faith For Our Planet/Duke University Youth Interfaith Leaders Fellowship on Climate Change 2022/2023. Faith For Our Planet, in collaboration with Duke University’s prestigious Divinity School, has launched this exciting new programme for climate conscious youth leaders worldwide.

Whether you are a religious leader, a climate activist, an early career professional in a faith-based organization or a recent graduate who’s just starting – as long as you’re eager to learn how to mobilize faith communities to combat climate change, they’ve got you covered.

About the Fellowship

The fellowship is a fully funded, week-long residential programme at Duke University for the next generation of faith leaders. This is an invaluable opportunity for young climate conscious individuals from all faiths and walks of life to become a part of a global network of religious actors engaged in climate action.

Through expert lectures, interactive sessions, policy dialogues, and vocational training, fellows will explore various themes and tap into transferable skills to curate impactful faith-based climate action projects for their respective communities. Distinguished specialists will deliver the curriculum in the field of theology, climate change, policy, media, and sustainable development.

• Systems thinking: Identifying the political and economic paradigms of climate change
• Project planning and community mobilization
