The Global Solidarity Levies Task Force is hiring an intern to support our work in the run up to COP30.

About the role

The Task Force is entering a pivotal phase of work. Following the successful launch of a coalition on premium aviation taxation at the 4th International Conference on Financing for Development (30 June – 3 July 2025), efforts are accelerating to develop concrete policy proposals on aviation levies and revenue use by COP30 in Belém.

In parallel, the Task Force continues technical and diplomatic engagement on other solidarity levy options, including levies on fossil fuels, financial transactions, and crypto. With major milestones ahead, including UNGA/NY Climate Week in September, the secretariat is expanding capacity to deliver on its goals.

We are looking for a highly motivated intern to support the secretariat’s work during this critical window.
