Research Fellowship
The Research Fellowship Program recruits young professionals interested in scientific, socio-economic and policy issues related to sustainability and climate change. Fellows are early to mid-career professionals from around the world and from a variety of backgrounds, ranging from environmental studies and public health to urban studies and computer science. In this unpaid program, Research Fellows volunteer a few hours-per-week and train in academic and policy research skills and are immersed in the latest trends and concepts in sustainability and climate change issues. Fellows are trained and guided by a small group of pro-bono senior experts.
Latin America Program
Region360 is a multi-disciplinary, international initiative spearheaded by the Environic Foundation International that promotes sustainability and climate change education in Latin America by applying rigorous, data-driven analytical methods and promoting educational and policy initiatives to achieve resilient, healthy, and sustainable societies.
We have a multidisciplinary, international team with presence in Washington, DC, Central and South America. We are currently conducting research and developing educational and policy tools in three areas: climate and hydrological modeling, sustainable economies and sustainability policy to help local stakeholders achieve the SDG’s and develop mitigation and adaptation strategies in the face of climate change.
