Future Rising Fellowship program: Future rising uses a narrative to emphasize the critical links between girls’ education and climate change.

A cohort of ten emerging leaders participates in the year-long virtual Fellowship program, which includes financial support and professional growth. These are young people aged 17 to 24 who are involved in storytelling initiatives that address gender equality, climate change, or environmental justice.

Fellows must create a narrative project that showcases their work or tells the story of girls or women who are innovating and working to alleviate the effects of climate change and environmental injustice during their time with the program.
