THE CAROLINA NYBERG-STEISER BURSARY PROGRAMME

In October 2017, Greenpeace campaign Carolina Nyberg-Steiser lost her life in the Brazilian Amazon in the course of her work. As Head of Partnerships, Artists & Influencers at Greenpeace, she raised millions in funding that enabled not just Greenpeace, but the wider environmental and human rights movements, to drive change for a better world.
Greenpeace and the Resource Alliance, with the support of Carolina’s family, have developed a bursary programme in her name with an aim to empower other incredible young women who care as deeply for the wellbeing of our planet, and the people that inhabit this earth, as Carolina did.
Carolina dedicated her working life to the protection of nature, bringing people together to save what is best in this world. Her conviction was always that if we are to win the greatest challenges of mankind, we must forge new alliances and collaborations that create a greater and more permanent impact than what we could achieve alone.
In her name, the bursary programme provided funding that enabled 31 young women from all over the globe to come together over a number of years at the International Fundraising Congress and related IFC events in different parts of the world.
