The Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI) internship program provides a unique learning opportunity for students and recent graduates from diverse academic backgrounds.

The program allows selected candidates to gain insight into the work of the Institute and provides assistance and training in various professional fields in a multicultural environment. We encourage qualified young professionals with diverse academic and cultural backgrounds to apply.

Background

The GGGI supports developing countries in achieving inclusive green growth, including through the design and implementation of climate mitigation policies aligned with the Paris Agreement.

Under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement, cooperative approaches and market-based mechanisms create opportunities to mobilize climate finance while ensuring environmental integrity, transparency, and sustainable development benefits. GGGI actively supports, promotes, and operationalizes best practices under Article 6 and contributes to the development of an equal and fair playing field in international carbon markets.

GGGI serves as trustee of the Norwegian-assisted Climate Action (NACA) Fund on behalf of the Norwegian Ministry of Climate and Environment (NMCE). The NACA Fund aims to support the development of mitigation activities and to purchase Internationally Transferred Mitigation Outcomes (ITMOs) generated from such activities, in line with Article 6 of the Paris Agreement.
