CPRD–TCW Reporting Fellowship 2025

The Center for Participatory Research and Development (CPRD) and The Climate Watch (TCW) invite story proposals from Bangladeshi journalists focusing on climate change or the 2025 UN Climate Change Conference (COP30).

Story pitches on specific topics but not limited to climate finance, mitigation, adaptation finance, loss and damage, sustainable agriculture and food security, disaster risk reduction, just transition, biodiversity and technology transfer will be given priority.

Final stories, due between November 10 and December 15, 2025, will be published by The Climate Watch in Bangla or English with the acknowledgement: “This story was supported by the CPRD–TCW Story Grant Fellowship.” Awardees may also publish their stories in their own media outlets, provided they include the same acknowledgement.
