Funding

The Green Future Fellowship is a unique programme supporting academics, entrepreneurs and innovators to develop and scale up their breakthrough climate solutions.

About the scheme

Academics, entrepreneurs and innovators are pioneering urgently needed technologies to help the world build resilience and adapt to climate change. But often, they lack the support they need to thrive. The Green Future Fellowship programme aims to nurture climate innovation by providing those working across academia and industry with the space, time and support they need to accelerate their critical technologies into scalable, commercially viable, and world-changing projects. 

Green Future Fellows will receive up to £3 million and support over ten years to develop their ground-breaking initiatives.

The programme is open to anyone with a transformative idea that has the potential to make a significant and lasting impact on global climate resilience.

What will be funded?

The novel technologies supported by the Green Future Fellowships will:

• be practical and scalable
• reduce greenhouse gas emissions and/or
• help the UK adapt sustainably to the impacts of climate change.

Innovations at all stages of development are eligible, from basic principles to proof of concept, demonstration, and application.
