About the Fellowship  

Climate change is transforming the economy as quickly and profoundly as it is reshaping the planet. For journalists who want to deepen their climate coverage, understanding these sometimes cryptic economic and financial shifts is as important as understanding the science and politics behind climate change.

The NYU Stern Climate Economics Journalism Fellowship will bring a group of journalists to NYU Stern’s Greenwich Village campus to learn from globally recognized experts in the emerging field of climate economics. Participants will discuss the fundamental factors and latest trends in climate economics and finance.

A two-day in-person series of academic and social events at NYU Stern’s Greenwich Village campus. The program is designed for journalists interested in better understanding the interactions between climate change, financial markets, and the broader economy. Taught by NYU faculty, the Fellowship aims to provide participants with both the fundamental factors and latest trends in climate economics and finance.

Who can Apply

Applications are open to and welcome from all journalists (both reporters and editors, and including freelancers) interested in covering the interface between climate and the economy. While aspects of the course have a focus on U.S. policies and institutions, we also welcome applications from journalists based outside the United States.

NYU Stern will select the final group of Fellows based on the documents submitted by applicants including the letter of motivation.

How to Apply

The Fellowship dates are September 19–20, 2024. The following week is NYC Climate Week, providing numerous coverage opportunities. The Program’s activities will take place at NYU Stern’s Greenwich Village campus in New York City.

You can upload your application here. Please include a letter of motivation describing what you hope to get out of the fellowship, a CV, and three related stories you have written or produced. Applications close on May 31, 2024, and we will contact the Fellowship recipients by mid-June 2024.
