One World Media Presents: The Climate Reporting Gap Fellowship 2025

One World Media, in partnership with Surge Africa, is thrilled to launch a new opportunity as part of The Climate Reporting Gap Initiative.

Across Nigeria, the impacts of climate change are increasingly visible — from rising heat and water scarcity to the complexities of the energy transition.

Yet, local stories that connect these challenges to people’s daily lives often remain underreported. That’s where the Climate Reporting Gap Fellowship comes in.

Whether you’re drawn to print, audio, video, or multimedia reporting, this Fellowship is designed to enable you to produce compelling, solutions-focused journalism that resonates at the local and regional level.

Fellowship Summary

Sponsor: Surge Africa + One World Media
Eligible Country: Nigeria
Benefits: £3-5k funding, One-on-one mentoring, In-depth training and support, Training trip to Colombia and South America, etc

Criterias for the The Climate Reporting Gap Fellowship 2025

Journalists and filmmakers from Nigeria, and reporting in Nigeria.

One World Media is looking for mid-career and experienced applicants, with at least 3-5 years experience in their field.
Applicants don’t need to have a background in climate finance, but an interest in telling stories about the climate crisis and energy transitions, and a strong background in journalism and/or their chosen medium.
One World Media is particularly keen to hear creative proposals that cover an underreported story, or hear from people who are often unheard and offer unexpected or rare access.
