Corporate Transition Intern

About the Program:
The world needs to shift from economies based on exploiting people and nature to low-carbon economies that are good for people and good for the planet. Achieving the world’s people, nature, and climate goals will require major transformations of every human system that supports life on Earth — from the ways we produce and use food and energy to how we design cities – as well as to the economic, financial and political governance systems which underpin them. WRI works to drive transitions in focus countries where we can test, evaluate, and scale strategies and lessons learned, and also to set ambitious global commitments and initiatives. We bring change-makers together from governments, businesses, non-profits, and others to advance rigorous, evidence-based solutions and learning. This internship will support WRI's Climate, Economics, and Finance (CEF) Program, with a specific focus on Corporate Transition to Net Zero. The CEF Program is responsible in WRI for both driving forward changes in the finance, economic and governance systems at the global, country transition, and human system-level, as well as stewarding the Institute’s climate goal, with a focus on both adaptation and mitigation. It is responsible for delivering outcomes on climate ambition, country transitions, finance, adaptation, and corporate action. This is a hybrid position which requires 8 days per month in the office. You can be based in our office in London. Existing work authorization is required at the time of application submission as WRI is unable to sponsor any visa work sponsorship for this position.
