2012 Summer Climate Fellowships

Creating the next generation of climate leaders

CA-CP’s Climate Fellowships pair outstanding students with challenging, important projects that will propel the US toward a low-carbon future. Fellows receive supervision, mentorship, unique networking opportunities, and a stipend. Application deadline is February 24th, 2012.

	Lamprey Fellowship - Charting Emissions From Food Services (CHEFS): Supporting Sustainable Decisions CA-CP’s CHEFS tool, now in beta form, is designed to help institutions and individuals make informed, sustainable dining decisions. This Fellow will work with pilot schools to help them utilize the data they get from CHEFS.
	Climate Preparedness for New Jersey - Data Directory (NJ) This Fellow will compile and annotate a directory of peer-reviewed and selected sets of data helpful to technical experts working with elements of climate preparedness confronting local officials in the state of New Jersey.

	Transforming Campus Carbon Management with the Launch of the New Campus Carbon Calculator™ This Fellow will be responsible for working with CA-CP staff to help implement and continually refine a comprehensive outreach campaign centered around the launch of the new web-based Campus Carbon Calculator.
	Using the Campus Carbon Calculator to Highlight Coal Dependence Impacts and Alternatives for Colleges and Universities This Fellow will work with staff from CA-CP and partners to gather the data needed to create two new coal-related modules for the Campus Carbon Calculator.
