**Responsibilities**:

The internship is UNPAID and full-time.

Interns work five days per week (35 hours) under the supervision of a staff member in the division or office to which they are assigned.

Environment and Development Policy Section (EDPS) plays a leading role in facilitating the analysis, development, promotion and dissemination of innovative policies in the field of environment and development.

The Asia-Pacific region is currently not on track to achieve the SDG 13 targets. Most vulnerable countries and communities must simultaneously deal with compounding risks associated with climate change and the COVID-19 pandemic. Climate change and climate-induced disasters fundamentally threaten development in Asia-Pacific, often undermining the enjoyment of all human rights, and exacerbating societal inequalities by disproportionately burdening the poor and the most vulnerable groups, including women and children, indigenous populations, gender minorities, migrants, displaced and persons with disabilities. Between 2000-2019, eight out of the top ten countries by disaster occurrence and seven out of ten countries by disaster-affected population are in Asia Pacific.

EDPS is developing knowledge products, policy briefs, infographics, and modelling tools to support countries in Asia-Pacific to accelerate the ambition of their NDC pledges to enhance climate mitigation and adaptation actions to safeguard impressive development gains. Such NDC pledges need to be aligned with green recoveries post-COVID-19, which will support rapid transition towards an equitable low-carbon and climate and disaster-resilient development pathway.

**Responsibilities**:

Assist with relevant data collection and analysis of NDC updates & net-zero pledges, air quality management of each member State
- Develop infographics, attractive presentation on the SINGG project, green growth, climate action, and air quality management
- Support with the development of policy briefs, blogs, and newsletters on the current research and policy trends in related fields
- Support the organization of related workshops, meetings, and international forums on climate action, air pollution, and environmental SDGs
- Support communication with member States, specialists, international institutes, and stakeholders in Asia and the Pacific region
- Qualifications/special skills
- The basic education required is HS Diploma.
