The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) offers a variety of internship opportunities aimed at providing young professionals with practical experience in environmental policy, research, and sustainable development.
As the leading global environmental authority, UNEP works to promote the responsible management of the environment through advocacy, education, and collaboration. Internships at UNEP are open to graduate and undergraduate students in fields such as environmental science, law, communications, economics, and policy studies.
These internships provide an invaluable opportunity to gain hands-on experience in tackling global environmental challenges, from climate change to biodiversity loss and pollution. Interns are assigned to various departments where they contribute to ongoing projects, research initiatives, and policy formulation.
While the positions are generally unpaid, the experience gained, networking opportunities, and exposure to international environmental governance make these internships highly sought after.
UNEP internships are based at their headquarters in Nairobi, Kenya, but also offer opportunities at regional and country offices around the world. Candidates must meet specific academic and language requirements, particularly fluency in English. Internships generally last between three to six months, offering interns a chance to contribute meaningfully to UNEP’s mission of ensuring a sustainable future for all.
