Journalists working in low- or middle-income countries are eligible for a fellowship to attend COP16.

Internews’ Earth Journalism Network (EJN) is offering a new fellowship for journalists interested in reporting from the UN Convention on Biological Diversity (COP16). The conference will be held Oct. 24 to Nov. 1 in Cali, Columbia.

In the leadup to COP16, fellows will receive resources and tools to help prepare for reporting at the conference.

While in Cali, fellows will participate in a series of specially designed activities, including an orientation session with biodiversity experts on the key issues at COP16, daily briefings and interviews with high-level officials.

Five journalists will be selected for the fellowship. Fellows will receive airfare, accommodation, meals, travel insurance, and transportation costs to participate in the fellowship.

The application deadline is July 6.
