Climate Leadership Coalition is Europe’s largest climate-business network, comprising of 96 corporate, city, university, and research institutional members. Our members believe that transition to a sustainable world can be economically beneficial, viable, and financeable. In the coming autumn, this belief will be translated into reality through two important initiatives: building policy recommendations for the next European Commission on green transition and climate targets, and showcasing solutions from Finnish companies, the science community, and NGOs at the climate conference COP28 in Dubai. Now we are seeking two interns to join the teams working on these impactful topics.
EU climate policy intern
As an EU climate policy intern, you will engage in information research, conduct background analyse for policy work in collaboration with other CLC staff members. Your role will involve close interaction with our members and discussions with civil servants from both the European Commission and ministries in Finland, Sweden, and Denmark.
COP28 project intern
As a COP28 project intern, you will contribute to the planning and implementation of CLC’s events and communications leading up to COP28 in Finland, as well as during the conference in Dubai. This role will be an integral part of the team responsible for producing the Finnish pavilion and its program in collaboration with Business Finland, partnering companies, and industry organizations. With an expected attendance of over 70,000 people, COP28 will mark Finland’s inaugural pavilion at the conference.
