As contributions to the menu of solutions to global warming, the NWF International Climate Change and Energy Program advocates a variety of solutions to reducing tropical deforestation, and sustainable production of biofuels and other forms of energy. In particular, we promote international standards for ensuring that the rapid expansion of the biofuels industry can be environmentally and socially, as well as economically, sustainable. A motivated individual with strong organizational skills is sought to be hired for a 6-month, full-time paid internship in Washington, DC to work with NWF on these issues.
The ICE Intern will assist NWF’s Senior Program Advisor for International Climate and Energy. He/she will: conduct research on policy issues and technologies related to climate change, reducing deforestation and biofuels; prepare reports, fact sheets, and other written materials; handle administrative duties such as managing databases and list-serves, setting up meetings and other events, corresponding with project constituents and partners and managing project records and files; handle telephone calls and electronic communications connected with the project, such as a web site; and write articles for various NWF publications. In addition, as part of the work on bioenergy, the intern will be expected to contribute to the development and maintenance of the BioenergyWiki (www.bioenergywiki.net ), including regularly updating news and events relating to the bioenergy industry and policy, and providing support for the Roundtable on Sustainable Biofuels. The intern will from time to time attend meetings on behalf of the project staff, and summarize the results; and may help coordinate workshops.
