Climate Change Media Partnership (CCMP) Fellowship Programme

The Climate Change Media Partnership (CCMP) invites applications for the launch of a Fellowship programme that will send journalists to the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Durban, South Africa, (COP17) in late 2011. The Fellowships are open predominantly to journalists from developing countries, but journalists from the United States (US) and Russia are also welcome to apply. As part of the fellowships, the CCMP will cover: travel, lodging and daily subsistence expenses; arrange press accreditation at COP17; and provide other support services. The Fellows will benefit from a series of specially designed activities, including an orientation session, breakfast briefings, a field trip, and a media clinic.

Throughout the conference, Fellows are free to report as they see fit. The programme allows Fellows to exchange views and information with their journalistic peers from around the world.

Applicants will be required to:

Complete and submit an online application form before the June 30 2011 deadline.
Provide a support letter from their editor, producer, or supervisor
[Note: Freelance journalists are welcome to apply, but must provide a letter of support indicating that their stories will be published or
broadcast]
Provide two samples of their work, published within the last 12 months
Have a valid passport.
