Call for Experts: Climatebase Fellowship

About the Fellowship

Named one of the top professional development programs in climate by Forbes, the Climatebase Fellowship is a global climate career accelerator that aims to deepen Fellows' understanding of leading climate research and climate change solutions. We aim to give Fellows direct exposure to scientists, researchers, and subject-matter experts shaping the climate field, so they're equipped to bring timely knowledge of the climate ecosystem to their communities and future work or ventures.

Cohort 10 (Sept. 8 - Dec. 4) will bring together hundreds of Fellows from 85+ countries, joining our 4,500+ Fellowship alumni community. The Fellows are highly motivated, mission-driven professionals spanning early- to late-career, across diverse sectors.

We're currently seeking subject-matter experts to join Cohort 10's Special Topic Speaker Series, which gives speakers a global stage to share their expertise with a community of climate professionals and career transitioners.

As an expert guest speaker, you'll lead a live virtual session covering a topic in your area of expertise, followed by a moderated Q&A with Fellows. We provide a speaker brief ahead of time outlining suggested goals for the session, so you'll have full context and support going in.
