The Global Environment Facility is seeking interns to assist with managing social media, creating engaging content, and strengthening its digital presence.

The Global Environment Facility (GEF) is a multilateral funding organization focused on addressing biodiversity loss, climate change, pollution, and promoting the health of land and oceans. Its financial support helps developing countries tackle complex environmental challenges and pursue global environmental objectives.

The GEF partnership consists of 186 member governments, along with civil society, Indigenous Peoples, women, and youth, emphasizing integration and inclusivity. Over the past 30 years, the GEF has allocated more than $26 billion in funding and mobilized $149 billion for country-driven priority projects.

The GEF’s family of funds includes the Global Environment Facility Trust Fund, Global Biodiversity Framework Fund (GBFF), Least Developed Countries Fund (LDCF), Special Climate Change Fund (SCCF), Nagoya Protocol Implementation Fund (NPIF), and the Capacity-building Initiative for Transparency Trust Fund (CBIT).
