Announcement of Fellows

The Climate Policy Creative Fellowship is hosted by the Strategic Climate Risks Initiative (SCRI) and co-run by digital story studio Fast Familiar and the UCL Climate Action Unit

What's the purpose of a Climate Policy Creative Fellowship?

Policymakers are in a unique position in society to deliver the transition to a more sustainable world. We want to understand how creative professionals can support decision-makers in their roles of climate policymaking. 

The Climate Policy Creative Fellowship is an opportunity to explore this. The programme will bring together science, arts and policy practitioners to co-create new ways of enabling decisions in response to the risks of climate change.

The Climate Policy Creative Fellowship is hosted by the Strategic Climate Risks Initiative (SCRI) and facilitated by The Climate Action Unit, working in partnership with digital story studio Fast Familiar to deliver the training for participants.

Introducing the Creative Policy Fellows 

After a two-month recruitment process, we’re pleased to announce the following eight Fellows will be taking part.

Over several months in 2024 and 2025, they will experiment with a range of new tools, form new creative partnerships, and engage with climate experts from across the SCRI network.  

Alongside these engagements, Fellows will trial ideas for different creative approaches which could help a policy audience to better connect their decision-making to the evolving risks of climate change.
