Reading time: 2 minutes

The 2024 Earth Fellows Edit – an annual publication which showcases the work of Edinburgh Earth Initiative’s Earth Fellows programme – is live.

The Earth Fellows are a vital part of a diverse, fun and dynamic team of researchers, students and staff all working together towards solutions for climate change on a global scale.  

The programme gives current students the unique opportunity to work on paid climate and environment projects, engage with professional development events and build a network for collective action on climate change. 

Earth Fellows Edit 2024

The annual Earth Fellows Edit acts as a record of their contributions to collective climate knowledge, featuring quotes from project partners across the University and beyond. 

The 2023/24 cohort included 19 Earth Fellows representing eight Schools, across all three colleges at the University of Edinburgh. 

The Fellows worked on eight separate research projects, resulting in 10 reports, three literature reviews, two showcase events, two panel discussions and a new microsite and video. Plus, the Earth Communications Unit alone produced 28 communications pieces, bringing focus to climate related research and knowledge within the University. 

Project partners included the Centre for Sustainable Forests and Landscapes, Energy@Ed, the Department for Social Responsibility and Sustainability, the School of GeoSciences, the Curriculum Transformation Project, the SUS+ network, the School of Social and Political Science, the Scottish Wildlife Trust and the UK’s Energy Demand Research Centre. 

Chloe Francis, Earth Fellows Programme Manager said:

“We’re so proud of the work the Earth Fellows have done this academic year. From increasing the reach of climate-related research news, to strengthening partnerships and providing evidence-bases for decision making, their work has added immense value across the University. We’re very grateful to the Fellows and their project partners for their dedication and collaboration this year.”
