About the award
This scholarship interview explores how you would use postgraduate study to contribute to climate mitigation, adaptation or resilience. The panel is looking for a well-defined challenge, awareness of systems and trade-offs, fair treatment of affected stakeholders and a feasible pathway from learning to action.
How to prepare
- Check the scholarship's official site for current eligibility, supported courses, conditions and dates.
- Choose a climate challenge you know well and gather credible evidence about its local effects.
- Study the likely benefits, limits and unintended effects of one proposed response.
- Identify the people, institutions and communities whose choices would shape implementation.
- Connect specific course content to the next practical step in your climate work.
Common mistakes
- Using broad climate language without defining a place, group or decision.
- Presenting one technical solution as if it has no social or economic trade-offs.
- Ignoring people who may bear the costs of the proposed action.
- Promising national or global change without a credible first step.
