The Atlantic Council Global Energy Center’s Women Leaders in Energy and Climate Fellowship is a one-year, unpaid, nonresident fellowship program for early to mid-career rising women leaders in the energy and climate fields.
The program provides professional development for young women by cultivating their leadership potential, facilitating mentoring sessions with senior women leaders in the energy sector, and providing opportunities for public speaking and writing. The program is open to women under the age of 35 with at least three to five years of experience in the energy and climate fields.
