The Opportunity
To gain deeper insight into sustainability and what it means around the world, we’ve partnered with One Earth, to bring you this awesome opportunity to be part of a 6-month paid media mentorship-fellowship combo!
We are on the lookout for a group of globally diverse solutions reporting fellows to write stories unearthing the most amazing projects/initiatives with a climate solutions background.
Do you know about a community project focused on nature-based solutions? Are you interested in regenerative agriculture, biodiversity conservation, and energy transition? Perhaps you are aware of projects led by indigenous peoples or women groups.
These are the stories that will inspire the world.
As a part of this group of Fellows, you will receive training and mentoring to produce one story every month for 6 months.

Here’s why you should join us
As a selected Fellow, you’ll be writing and publishing powerful sustainability stories focused on local solutions in your country/region. We will work alongside you, coaching and mentoring you, as you produce stories that will tell the world about untold local successes.
Not only is this a great opportunity to build your network around the world and engage with other solution reporters beyond your country/region, it is a fantastic chance to gain hands-on experience in reporting on climate change and sustainability issues and publishing on both Climate Tracker and One Earth websites.
If that is not enough to entice you to apply, how about this
- 1-1 mentorship with experienced environment and solution reporters
