The Climate Adaptation, Resilience and Empowerment (CARE) Program is a Franco-Canadian initiative bringing together the University of Guelph, the University of British Columbia, the University of Toronto and Sciences Po Paris. The CARE Program seeks to prepare and energize the next generation of global environmental leaders and citizens by providing them with the knowledge, skills and experience to generate hands-on solutions addressing the challenges of climate change. Apply by submitting the Climate Adaptation Resilience & Empowerment Travel Grant application form with complete details, and budget for the intended travel, 1-page cover letter, CV/resumé, and any additional supporting documentation. Applications will be reviewed while funding is available in the order received. Any questions can be directed to the CARE Program leaders at CARE@uoguelph.ca. Selection will be based on the fit with the CARE mission and evidence of community benefit and partnership. Funding will support travel and living expenses for experiences to a maximum of 3 months.
