Description
The International Climate Protection Fellowship, offered by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, supports prospective leaders and postdoctoral researchers from non-European developing and transition countries who are actively engaged in climate protection or climate-relevant resource conservation. The program enables recipients to carry out independently developed, research-based projects in Germany in collaboration with a German host institution. Fellows benefit from individual support, networking, and access to a strong alumni network, while advancing practical or academic solutions to urgent climate challenges such as climate change mitigation, adaptation, biodiversity, sustainable resources, or urban development.
