We are more than excited to announce our new Green Web Fellowship cohort 2024. After reviewing nearly 4500 (!) applications, interviewing finalists and consulting the advisory committee, our five new fellows are ready to work on the intersection of digital rights and climate justice for the next six months.
What is the Green Web Fellowship?
The Green Web Fellowship is a funded research program bringing together five individuals who’ll explore aspects of the intersection of digital rights and climate justice. The fellows learn together about what powers control the internet, and what we can do about it. There are three key guiding principles: learning in the open, collaborative ethos and bridging movements
For the fellowship, each fellow designs and delivers a project that solidifies their learning and contributes to their community. Background on the Green Web Fellowship.
