    • Climate Change Internship in Vietnam

    Project Summary

    Join our climate change internship in Vietnam and learn about the technologies being used to address climate change and resource depletion. You will be based at a non-profit, non-governmental organisation or social enterprise that works on a range of projects. Topics include: sustainable agriculture, rural livelihoods, climate change adaptation, forestry governance, research and pro-poor policy advocacy. The organisations often work with national CSO networks and will be involved in policy forums. The focus of the internship is to improve the abilities of poor communities in Vietnam to develop sustainable livelihoods by adapting to climate change. Project activities will include helping communities to benefit from reducing emissions caused by deforestation and forest degradation; and, overall, educating communities on sustainably managing their forests. Join this climate change internship in Vietnam and play a part in local and global change.


    Why choose this project?

    Not only will you gain hands-on experience to support your studies, you will also understand how climate change is being addressed globally. Vietnam is a fast-changing country, where undeniable challenges have arisen, such as pollution and resource depletion. The organisations benefit by having bright, motivated interns who are able to push forward project materials and advocacy.


    The Internship

    Your internship will be shaped by the project priorities and activities at the time of your placement. It may include:  

    • Assisting with development of project concept notes and proposals to support short- and long-term climate change strategy
    • Assisting with writing and editing website content, newsletter articles and reports relating to climate change, forest management and environmental fields
    • Supporting the development, management and implementation of climate change projects, including undertaking needs/vulnerability assessments and conducting baseline surveys
    • Training local staff
    • Participating in other related activities of the organization and engage/liaise with partners through climate change networks

    You may be asked to do other research and administrative tasks as part of your role. Interns will need to produce an end of placement report or presentation to reflect on your learning and share recommendations with the local project team. It is recommended that you bring a laptop with you to enable you to do this and other project activities.


    Skills Required

    If you are studying or have experience in environmental science, renewable energy or climate change, this is an excellent placement for you. NGOs are looking for interns who are passionate, highly motivated and able to use their initiative. You will be working with a team, so good communication and team working competencies are important. You will need to send your CV/resume to highlight your skills, experience and interests before being accepted onto this internship.
