The objective of the fellowship programme is to contribute to building capacity for addressing climate change in non-Annex I Parties, in particular small island developing states (SIDS) and least developed countries (LDCs) Parties, through the development of local professional expertise by:* Supporting innovative analytical work on climate change in the context of sustainable development;
* Promoting a network of experts who can bring creative and innovative options to bear on questions of climate change;
* Encouraging the leadership potential of young and promising professionals in their fields.
The programme target group consists of mid-career professionals who are already in a government’s employment and who are nationals of and working in a developing country, preferably SIDS or LDC Party. While fellowships are awarded to individuals, the need for training must occur within the context of the organization for which an applicant works. The training must help the organization to develop its capacity.
