                     Twelve Visionary Leaders Join the Inaugural Climate Mobility Fellowship   

From a pool of 6,000 applicants, 12 exceptional young leaders have been selected for the Climate Mobility Fellowship programme—an initiative under the new Climate Mobility Academy. Representing Africa, the Pacific, and Latin America & the Caribbean, these Fellows will advance community-driven solutions to the climate mobility crisis through impact projects, policy engagement, and participation in global forums including COP30, the UN General Assembly, and the Berlin Climate Mobility Forum.
 
Over the course of the year, Fellows will develop and implement Climate Mobility Impact Projects aligned with core pillars: Preserving Heritage & Culture, Protecting Rights, Advancing Knowledge & Innovation, and Planning for Safe Pathways. Through this platform, GCCM is supporting a new generation of globally connected leaders equipped to transform climate mobility challenges into pathways for resilience and justice.
