Intern - Environment Affairs [temporary]

4 weeks ago

กรงเทพมหานคร, Thailand United Nations Full time

The Environment and Development Division, Environment and Development Policy Section internship is for two months with an opportunity for extension, if required by the division.

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**:
To conduct supporting research on issues related to accelerating climate ambition in the region, including the ambition of NDC commitments.

The required tasks will include:

- Assist with relevant research for data collection and analysis of NDC pledges and how those contribute to net-zero GHG emissions by 2050-2060, and related projection scenarios
- Develop infographics, attractive and interactive presentation of such GHG projections/scenarios, posters
- Support with the development of policy briefs, blogs, short articles related on the current research on the current GHG emissions and 2030 and 2060 projections
- Support the organization of side events and exhibits for Asia-Pacific Climate Week, 2023, 79th ESCAP Commission Session, COP-28
- Assist the organization of webinars, online courses and subregional and regional consultations and climate awareness on the SDG Help Desk

- Communication: Ability to draft clearly and concisely, good written and oral language skills.
- Teamwork: Good interpersonal skills, ability to work collaboratively with colleagues from different national and cultural backgrounds to achieve organizational goals.
