California Climate Action Fellowships
The California State Budget Act of 2022-23 allocated funding to the University of California to accelerate climate resilience-related innovations and entrepreneurial activities.
With great thanks to the California Legislature, we are pleased to offer UC Berkeley students Innovation & Entrepreneurship California Climate Action Fellowships. Students will work with public agencies, private sector entities, community-based efforts and non-profit organizations to support projects serving communities that are most vulnerable to climate change. Fellows will provide support for action-oriented solutions to address California’s climate goals aimed at helping Californians be prepared and resilient.
Each year, fellowship funds will provide support for the California Climate Action Fellows to work in the Climate Innovation space.
