Call for Applications: Carbon Removal Justice Fellows Program
Deadline for applications: May 20, 2023
Two-week Fellows Program will run from July 10-24, 2023
The National Wildlife Federation and the Institute for Carbon Removal Law and Policy at American University invite applicants for the inaugural cohort of the Carbon Removal Justice Fellows Program („the Fellows Program“). It is designed to bring environmental justice voices and perspectives into the fast-developing field of carbon removal policy, research, and private sector activity. The Fellows Program will:
- Provide participants with an introduction to the field of carbon removal, centering environmental justice considerations and concerns;
- Include conversations with key figures in U.S. federal policymaking, the private sector, and civil society; and
- Involve site visits to two U.S. locations grappling with decisions around carbon removal.
They invite applications from people who work with or in environmental justice organizations, who represent frontline climate communities, or who have a strong background in environmental justice-oriented organizing and practice. The Fellows Program will provide up to ten participants with a two-week introduction to the field. In addition, one participant will take up a full-time 11-month position with the National Wildlife Federation and work closely with staff at the Institute for Carbon Removal Law and Policy. Applicants should identify whether they are applying for the two-week fellowship, the 11-month opportunity with the National Wildlife Federation, or both.
