India Summer Fellows Program

“My time in India as a Climate Fellow provided me with a truly unforgettable learning experience. Through culturally immersive excursions and thought-provoking lectures and activities, this fellowship was instrumental in giving me a holistic view of the various climate challenges and mitigation strategies.”

“We got to witness firsthand the climate challenges confronting Delhi and Ahmedabad, as well as delve into the solution space to understand how problems like extreme heat and air pollution are being addressed in these cities. I really enjoyed learning about climate change through the perspectives of many different disciplines, from economics to chemistry to public policy.”

“I’m leaving with a greater insight into how environmental and healthcare systems interact, and how I can apply that awareness to my future work in medicine. Visiting field sites and speaking with workers and residents made the climate issues I learned about in the classroom more tangible, highlighting the reality that people in India face. I’ve heard a lot about climate change, but I had never seen its impacts in real life. This fellowship allowed me to witness them firsthand.”
