Green Climate Fund Internship Programme 2026–2027: Monthly Allowance and How to Apply

Overview

The Green Climate Fund provides international internships designed for students and recent graduates who want practical learning experiences in sustainable development, climate change, finance, policy, research, and related fields. Participants work in a multicultural setting at the Fund headquarters located in Songdo, South Korea. The initial assignment lasts for six months, and an extension of up to an additional six months may be granted based on a performance review.

Who can apply

Candidates of all nationalities are welcome to apply, and qualified applicants from developing countries receive particular encouragement. Eligible applicants must be enrolled in a master or PhD programme prior to the internship assignment or be recent graduates. Applicants are also required to have recently studied a subject directly related to the work of the Fund, demonstrate an excellent command of English, and show the necessary academic background and motivation for a specific vacancy.

What you get

The general internship programme provides a monthly allowance of US$1,300, while specific vacancies may advertise different amounts such as US$1,600 per month for the Independent Evaluation Unit Intern role. Comprehensive global health insurance is provided to participants. Additionally, international hires receive round-trip flights. No application or recruitment processing fees are charged.

Requirements

Interns must work on site at the Fund headquarters in Songdo, South Korea, making this an onsite arrangement rather than a fully remote position. Specific technical skills, academic disciplines, and experience requirements vary across different internship positions, so candidates must review individual vacancy descriptions. Applicants are responsible for considering their own relocation and living arrangements prior to accepting an offer.

How to apply

Applications are submitted through the official careers portal of the organization. Candidates must browse available internships, select a vacancy matching their interests and academic background, create an account if they have not previously applied through the system, complete the online application, and upload a CV or résumé along with any other requested documents.

Key dates

The application deadline for the Independent Evaluation Unit Intern vacancy is 21 October 2026.
