Description

The Alexander von Humboldt Foundation’s International Climate Protection Fellowship supports prospective leaders working practically and postdocs from non-European developing and transition countries. Funded through the International Climate Initiative, it enables fellows to implement independently developed research projects with hosts in Germany. Applicants from all disciplines engaged with climate change may apply.

Projects should address climate change mitigation, adaptation, ecosystems and biodiversity, sustainable oceans and seas, or sustainability relating to natural resources, resource-efficient consumption and urban development. The programme promotes international exchange of knowledge, methods and techniques, including their practical applicability in fellows’ countries of origin. Shared programme activities connect fellows with German institutions and other climate protection professionals, while alumni sponsorship supports long-term collaboration with German partners.
