Dr Kafoutchoni’s reading

The key phrase here is “specific initiative”: the programme is looking not only for people interested in climate, but for applicants already carrying something concrete, such as a proposal, a campaign, or a venture. The right approach is to align that initiative with the CV and the reference letter so that all three documents prove the same thing. If your English is strong but your track record is still modest, the file must make a real action visible rather than just an interest. Submit the form and the attached documents together, without waiting for the last possible moment.
