Description
The ClimateCAP Fellowship is an annual programme managed by ClimateCAP at Duke University's Fuqua School of Business. It is designed to prepare the next generation of climate leaders and changemakers from the MBA student community. The 2027 Fellowship runs from January through December 2027 and combines learning and professional development, expert and peer networking, and an applied climate-and-business project.
Each Fellow develops an independent project focused on a climate-and-business issue, supported by peers, advisors and ClimateCAP leadership. Fellows refine and execute their projects throughout the year and present their work at the end of the Fellowship. They are also expected to publish a public output related to their project.
