Royal Academy Launches £150m Green Future Fellowships to Combat Climate Change
The Royal Academy of Engineering has launched the Green Future Fellowships, a £150m initiative aiming to support 50 fellows over the next five years. The programme seeks to develop and scale innovative engineering solutions to combat climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
A survey revealed that seven in 10 people believe engineers are crucial in developing climate change solutions and reducing emissions. Nearly two thirds of UK adults agree that more needs to be done to scale existing solutions. The Green Future Fellowships aims to address this, with each fellow receiving up to £3m to develop and scale their ideas for up to a decade.
Dr Hayaatun Sillem CBE, CEO of the Royal Academy of Engineering, stressed the urgent need for scalable and commercially viable climate innovations. She noted that almost two thirds of respondents said the UK needs more people to become engineers to tackle the climate crisis effectively.
The Green Future Fellowships, launched with £150m in awards, aims to support 50 fellows over five years. The initiative seeks to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and help society adapt to climate change through scalable engineering solutions. It reflects the public's desire for more action and innovation in tackling the climate crisis.
