The Just Futures Mekong Fellowship Program (JFMFP) is a community-based fellowship and learning platform led by the Center for Social Development Studies (CSDS), Faculty of Political Science, Chulalongkorn University.

The program brings together emerging sustainability leaders, practitioners, researchers, communicators, and civil society actors to address pressing environmental and social challenges through research, collaboration, and regional dialogue.

The JFMFP combines community-based fieldwork, peer learning, cross-cultural exchange, collaborative research, and policy engagement. The fellowship supports participants in developing grounded, interdisciplinary approaches to sustainability transitions, climate adaptation, social justice, and community resilience in Thailand and the Mekong region.

The program is a partnership with: Climate Finance Network Thailand (CFNT), Sustainable Agriculture Foundation Thailand (SAFT), Sustainable Development Foundation (SDF), and Towards Organic Asia (TOA). It works together with communities in Trat and Mae Hong Son Provinces.

Through collaboration with communities, scholars, civil society organizations, policymakers, and regional networks, the fellowship supports co-produced knowledge that connects local realities to wider questions of climate finance, livelihoods, governance, trade, and just green transformation.

The fellowship also aims to strengthen long-term regional networks and solidarity among emerging practitioners working across sustainability, social development, and public engagement in Thailand, the Mekong region and across Asia.
