About Zero-Carbon Africa Impact Fellowship Program 2023

The most recent UNFCCC COP event hosted in Africa marked the continent’s high ambition on mitigation, adaptation and climate finance, demonstrating actual success stories on implementing commitments and fulfilling pledges.

The Zero Carbon Africa Impact program aims to assist Africa in achieving this target by enhancing the capacity of young people as climate action leaders.

This  fellowship will offer hands-on training and the opportunity for participants to learn from experts on a range of environmental issues, such as climate change, biodiversity loss, renewable energy, and sustainable development.

Program Details

The Program is designed as a 3-month long training and advocacy program for African Youths. The fellowship is divided into 3 components: The Master Class, Climate Action Impact Interventions and the Social Impact Showcase Event.

Masterclass

This is a comprehensive 8-week training package on sustainable development goal-13 and current international efforts in place to address the net-zero target. The training includes 16+ live sessions, original readings, and comprehensive assessments.

Climate Action Impact Interventions

As a prerequisite for final certification as Zero-Carbon Africa Impact fellows, the Fellows will be allocated into groups, tasked with planning and implementing a social impact project centered on climate action.

This component of the Program which will run concurrently with the masterclass is geared towards providing the fellows with mentorship and practical learnings as they take on various zero-carbon climate action projects in their countries. The fellows are expected to share best practices, lessons learned, and solutions on a weekly basis.
