Background

Climate change is one of the greatest long-term challenges facing the world today. The science is clear and unambiguous: climate change is happening. Due to the greenhouse gases released into the atmosphere over many years, simply reducing emissions is no longer enough to prevent the worst effects of climate change. As a result, adaptation and responding is required and key to managing the risks and worst-case scenarios. Climate change is impacting human and ecosystem health, economic sectors all while disproportionately affecting indigenous and racialized communities.

Job Description

Working virtually, the Climate Communications Intern/ Assistant will support the CLIMAtlantic team and work under the Communications lead.

• A university (or college) degree in communications, marketing, journalism, or science.
• Work or volunteer experience (1 year, can be spread out) in the environmental or climate change field (e.g., climate change science, climate change adaptation, stakeholder and community engagement approaches, land-use planning, etc.)

• Strong interpersonal communications skills, both written and spoken
• Ability focus on priorities
• Ability to thrive both as a member of several teams and independently
• Strong relationship and network-building skills
• Comfortable working remotely using online platforms for check-ins and meetings (Slack, Google Meet, Zoom, etc.)

• Supporting the communications lead with specific projects through research, document and image creation through Canva, and newsletter editing through Mailchimp

The Climate Communications Intern may travel throughout Atlantic Canada for quarterly in-person meetings (carpooling available).
