Deadline: 28-Jun-22
Climate Tracker is excited to launch this initiative and invest in Caribbean journalists by providing 30 journalists from Jamaica, Guyana, and Trinidad and Tobago with the opportunity to participate in our innovative and hands-on Energy Transition Journalism Fellowship, featuring regional and global experts in energy transition and award-winning Caribbean journalists.
Opportunity
- The Workshop: Their online workshops will engage journalists in expanding their knowledge of the Caribbean’s energy needs and resources, and the scientific, political, economic, human and social dimensions of the adaptation and resilience measures that will need to be taken as part of the region’s energy transition. They will also sharpen journalists’ skills in information gathering, reporting and explaining – to support them in communicating these complex issues with various audiences. Their 30 workshop participants will benefit from 5 weeks of intensive, engaging, and highly interactive sessions and will receive certification as proof of all that they’ve learned.
- The Publishing Grant : 9 fellows will move on to this stage! They’ll work together with the experienced Caribbean team members to get their stories published both locally and on the Climate Tracker website. They will be with you each step of the way!

- A Caribbean journalist interested in covering climate change and connected issues
