Deadline: May 31, 2024
Applications are open for the NYU Stern Climate Economics Journalism Fellowship 2024. 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.
Topic Areas
The sessions cover the fundamental economics and latest trends in climate economics. Prior training in economics is not required. Topics include:
- How Climate Change is Roiling the Housing and Insurance Markets
- Climate Risks to Financial Stability
- How Climate Change is Altering Corporate Decision Making
- The Economics of Climate Regulation + Carbon Markets
- Biodiversity Loss as an Emerging Economic Risk
- The Fast-Changing Economics of Renewable Energy and Electric Vehicles
- Emerging Regulatory and Legislative Trends in Climate Finance and Economics
Fellowship
- The Fellowship is fully funded by NYU Stern, and there is no corporate or advocacy-group sponsorship.
- All the costs of operating the program including all meals will be borne by NYU Stern. In addition, Fellows admitted to the program who reside outside the New York Metro Area will receive a $2,000 stipend to cover travel and accommodation costs; those residing inside the New York Metro Area will receive a $1,000 stipend.
Eligibility
- Open to 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, they 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.
Application
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 they will contact the Fellowship recipients by mid-June 2024.
