TPG Climate Impact Research Intern 2026: Remote Internship, $20/Hour, Eligibility and How to Apply
Overview
TPG is offering a paid, remote Climate Impact Research Internship for students and early-career candidates interested in climate change, sustainability, impact investing and environmental research. The internship pays $20 per hour and requires about 20 hours per week. It is expected to run from late August through mid-December 2026.
Although the work is remote, applicants must be physically located in one of the U.S. states specified by TPG for the whole internship, so it is not open to people living elsewhere.
What you get
Interns conduct research on climate and sustainability topics, gather information from reliable sources, analyse environmental and industry trends, support climate-impact research projects and review companies, industries and relevant developments. They also organize research findings and datasets, prepare written summaries and presentations, assist with internal research and reporting and work with professionals on assigned projects. The experience can lead toward careers in sustainability consulting, climate finance, investment research, environmental policy, impact investing and corporate sustainability.
At about 20 hours per week, pay comes to roughly $400 per week, or about $1,600 every four weeks, before any deductions.
Who can apply
The role suits undergraduate and graduate students with an interest in climate, sustainability, research or finance, with backgrounds such as environmental science, climate science, sustainability, economics, finance, business, public policy, international development, data analytics, environmental policy or social sciences. Useful skills include research and information gathering, data analysis, written communication, critical thinking, presentation skills, attention to detail and teamwork. Relevant coursework, academic research, sustainability projects, volunteering or earlier internships can demonstrate interest in the field.
How to apply
Applicants should prepare a résumé highlighting their education, research experience, analytical abilities and interest in climate or sustainability, then apply through the recruitment platform.
