We are looking for a paid intern to support a project to take a delegation of UK MPs to the UN climate summit, COP30. This is an exciting opportunity for students or recent graduates with an interest in climate change to work with our team from late summer to early November. The internship will be paid London Living Wage and transport allowance. The post is based in London with no requirement for international travel.

What you will do

In November, ECIU is taking a cross-party group of UK MPs to Brazil for a programme of meetings and events at COP30. This post will work to support planning, briefing and logistics for the Belém programme, as well as support to deliver in-person events with delegate MPs in Parliament beforehand. Whilst the post-holder will not be required to go to Brazil, we want you to be in post whilst the delegation is at COP, (12-14 November).

Depending on the intensity and timing of work on the COP programme, there may also be capacity to work to support other ECIU projects with analysis, communications, planning and logistics support, and digital outputs.

What you will learn

• Experience how a small team works to achieve impact.
• Pick up skills and knowledge for a future career in or around our sector.
• Where possible, we would try and ensure you are involved in a specific, discrete piece of work in one of our programme areas – UK energy, transport, food and land-use, international, and politics – for your CV.

We are looking for potential more than for experience, offering this role as a learning and development opportunity to kick-start your future career.
