Student Support

The Deep Decarbonization Initiative helps to support unique opportunities for students across UC San Diego in projects and programs designed to help understand and guide the global economy as it moves toward net-zero carbon emissions.

UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties

On an ongoing basis, the Deep Decarbonization Initiative provides funding to support student participation in various events and educational opportunities. A non-exhaustive list is below, which highlights our ongoing support to GPS and UC San Diego students.

Summer Fellows

For several years, the initiative has funded a summer internship fellows program at the School of Global Policy and Strategy (GPS). The program assists students at the school in conducting high-caliber summer internships related to research on decarbonization at the intersection of science, technology and policy. Each year we fund approximately two students and awards range from partial to full support, and are evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
