Deadline: April 20, 2025
Applications are open for the NYU Stern Climate Economics Journalism Fellowship 2025. 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. The next cohort of the Fellowship will meet in New York City on September 18 and 19, 2025.
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
Cost
- 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. Depending on your residency status, the Fellowship payment may be subject to tax withholding.
Eligibility
- 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, 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
To apply, submit a CV, cover letter, and examples of your work by April 20, 2025. Fellowship recipients will be contacted by late May 2025.
