The Climate Leaders Academy (CLA) formalizes interdisciplinary climate training and professional development through a cohort model that brings together students from a diverse set of institutions and backgrounds. We directly engage in national and international climate change frameworks, provide financial support, supply formalized mentoring, furnish an established network of ongoing support, and offer transferable graduate-level course credits.
The first cohort enrolled in Summer 2023 and attended COP28 in Dubai, UAE, where fellows presented their projects, spoke at press conferences, and engaged in the negotiation proceedings. The second cohort enrolled in Summer 2024 and attended COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan. Meet all of our past fellows on the Alumni Fellows page.
