*** The Opportunity ***
The
Global Campaign for Climate Action is awarding Adopt a Negotiator (AaN)
Fellowships to exceptional young people that we think possess the
ability to effectively push their countries toward unlocking climate
solutions nationally and internationally. AaN Fellows will have an
opportunity to help shape their government’s role in solving climate
change. They'll join a team of passionate, dedicated and talented
activists from around the world; participating in moments that will
shape if and how the governments respond adequately to the climate
challenge. Their efforts will build on a proud legacy of past
‘Negotiator Trackers,’ and make important contributions to the climate
movement in a creative, challenging and exciting role.

Applicants
must be 18 to 30 years of age; available to attend the Warsaw Climate
Change Conference in Poland (from November 8th to November 24th, 2013);

Here are some of the qualities we are looking for:
- You understand the landscape. Our
Fellows should not only understand climate change, they are also
familiar with their country’s national and international climate
politics; preferably with the UNFCCC itself - its history, its inner
workings, and its roles in addressing climate change.
- You are an excellent communicator. Our
Fellows can quickly translate the complex and hard to communicate
developments that happen during climate negotiations and other key
moments into compelling, accessible, creative, actionable communications
across multiple channels and mediums. Our primary tool is blogging –
Fellows must be skilled bloggers – but the ability to leverage other
communications tools and channels with strategic and/or large audiences
via new and traditional media is also key to their success.
- You have informed empathy. Our
Fellows seek out a deep understanding of how climate change affects
people in different situations, in different ways, all over the world –
security, health, livelihood, values, politics, business, etc – and can
tap into that understanding to help them connect with with various
audiences (including their negotiators).
- You are brave. In
a short amount of time, each Fellow has to build relationships with
experts in our partner network, members of the media, their country’s
negotiators and other decision makers. Fellows need to quickly absorb
and synthesize new information; take public stands on complicated
issues; get their ideas and opinions out to fellow activists and media
in their home country in meaningful ways.
- You are fast. Our Fellows are able to rapidly respond to events and opportunities inside climate negotiations and out.
- You are dedicated. Our
Fellows understand the stakes involved in responding to climate change,
and are dedicated to helping push for progress in spite of the many
setbacks, challenges and complications we face along the way. While we
expect to count on our Fellows’ full-time participation during the
Warsaw Climate Change Conference, they also actively participate in the
project throughout their Fellowship's duration.
Are
you looking for an incredible experience on the front lines of an
essential fight in the effort to address climate change? Do you think
you can excel in the Fellowship role? If so, we want to meet you. Apply
