The internship initially spans six months, with a potential for a six-month extension based on performance review.

Candidates should be skilled in academic fields directly relevant to the mission and operations of the Green Climate Fund, particularly those related to climate change. A strong knowledge of the English language and proficiency with standard software (MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and Access) are required. All nationalities are invited to apply, with a special encouragement for qualified candidates from developing countries and women.

Requirements

Candidates will need to submit a comprehensive CV/resume as part of the application process. Specific document requirements are not clearly stated beyond this.

How to apply

Online applications are available on the official Green Climate Fund website. The recruitment for cohort internships typically begins in December each year and extends through early January of the following year. The selection process takes place from February to May, with newly chosen interns usually starting in July. The application process involves a thorough review of CVs, followed by shortlisted candidates potentially undergoing an online video interview, a written assessment, or both. The final stage is a 30-minute online panel interview to assess qualifications and suitability for the role.

Notes

There is no application fee for this program. The internship is based at the GCF Headquarters in Songdo, Incheon City, Republic of Korea. All interns are required to work on-site.
