The Center for Climate and Security (CCS), an institute of the Council on Strategic Risks, is pleased to announce a call for applications for the 2024-2025 Gordon R. Sullivan Climate and Ecological Security Fellowship (Sullivan Fellowship).
The Sullivan Fellowship is the latest iteration of CCS's fellowship programming, and is the preeminent opportunity of its kind to forge the next generation of climate-informed national security practitioners. It is named in honor of CCS Advisory Board Member General Gordon Sullivan, US Army (Ret.), who passed away in 2024 after a distinguished military career and was an early champion of integrating climate and environmental concerns in US national security.
From hands-on exercises with peers across the national, international, and climate security communities to engaging with guest speakers at the top of the field, Sullivan Fellows form a powerful cadre of expert voices able to make propulsive policy changes.
The Sullivan Fellowship will run for nine months (October 2024 - June 2025). Applicants will attend monthly two-hour sessions, some of which will be conducted virtually and some of which will be held in person at the CCS offices in Farragut Square (Washington, D.C.). Sessions will include small group presentations, guest speakers, and structured discussions exploring different aspects of climate security, such as climate finance, food and water security, military and intelligence services, and strategic competition.
