New Climate Fellows program names inaugural cohort
This fall, the Yale Emerging Climate Leaders Fellowship program—part of the Jackson School’s International Leadership Center—named its inaugural cohort of young climate practitioners. The eight-month program offers an opportunity for 16 young climate and clean-energy practitioners from across the Global South to broaden their technical skills, deepen their professional networks, and exchange views with top global clean-energy and climate-change leaders. The program is led by Ambassador Paul Simons ’77, a senior fellow at the Jackson School and former deputy executive director and chief operating officer of the International Energy Agency.
