WCRP Future Leaders Programme
WCRP Future Leaders Programme
The WCRP Future Leaders Programme is envisioned to become the flagship program of the Academy. It aims to shape the next generation of future climate scientists through implementing thoughtfully designed activities over the next few years.
Build a vibrant community of aspiring climate scientist leaders
The WCRP Academy aims to continuously improve its website and expand its functionalities by creating an online forum that will enable prospective training recipients to register their research interests, share training Wishlist's, receive language support, access additional training resources, provide feedback on past training events, view localized job boards and funding opportunities, and find and interact with like-minded individuals within the community.
Increase opportunities for leadership development in climate science
The Academy will summarise the current state of capacity and leadership development within the WCRP community, and create a proposal for how the WCRP, via the Academy, could increase capacity building and leadership training opportunities in their projects and activities.
Amplify the visibility and work of the WCRP Academy
The WCRP Academy will increase its visibility within the climate science community through building strategic partnerships with training providers and university consortiums, participating in training events and organizing roadshows with the aim of enriching the learning experience especially of early career researchers. The Academy also envisions building a network of regional champions through organizing a Climate Leadership Summit to inspire more young individuals to enter the field of climate science, introduce various resources available for pursuing this field, and collectively work on addressing barriers to access.
Support the WCRP Future Leaders Programme
The WCRP Academy is seeking to partner with international funding organizations and philanthropists to support its mission and the new WCRP Future Leaders Programme. We're looking for partners in education, climate action, and social justice to help train the next generation of climate scientists.
