Why does this programme exist?  

Policy to tackle climate change is not keeping up with the risks posed by climate change. There are lots of reasons for this but one of them is that climate risk information produced by scientists could be communicated in a way that is more helpful for decision-makers in the policy community.  

This programme responds to the need for science, arts and policy communities to collaborate on dynamic strategies for decision-making in response to climate risk. Through this Fellowship, participants will develop the skills, knowledge and practice to help policy audiences engage with climate risk information in ways that could improve their decisions. 

This Fellowship is for experienced creative storytellers who are keen to use their skills to enable policy action on climate change.

Please note, this is a UK-based fellowship, with several components taking place in-person.
