Are you a university student passionate about climate action?
Do you want to be part of the solution and help shape a more sustainable future?
This isn’t just a simulation, it’s a knowledge-based movement.
The Fellowship brings together young and informed climate advocates from around
the world to collaborate, learn, and lead.
Fellowship Activities
- A two-week online capacity-building programme offered by global academic institutions and organisations on climate literacy, youth-led climate action, diplomacy, debate and conflict resolution.
- Mentored policy papers on climate-related themes, guided by Egyptian and International mentors from relevant academic and professional backgrounds.
- COP30 Simulation Conference on the campus of The British University in Egypt. Around 150 students from across the world are invited to Egypt, to simulate country delegates, chief negotiators, and non-state actors. Discuss and vote on their research-based resolutions.
