COP30 CCMP Reporting Fellowship Program 2025 in Brazil | Fully Funded Climate Journalism Opportunity

Hey there! If you're interested in climate change and want to get involved, here’s something cool: Belém, Brazil is the place to be from November 10 to 21, 2025. The Climate Change Media Partnership, which is a part of Internews’ Earth Journalism Network, has teamed up with the Stanley Center for Peace and Security to offer a reporting fellowship for COP30. This program is completely funded and offers a great opportunity for storytellers from lower- and middle-income countries. They get the chance to attend and report on an important global climate conference.

What Is CCMP All About?

Since 2007, the CCMP has allowed over 500 journalists to report firsthand from UN climate summits, bridging the gap between global deliberations and the areas most affected by climate change. The program provides practical training, expert mentoring, and exclusive access to press events and high-level officials.
