Вакансія: Intern

Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) is seeking an Intern for the Supporting Structural Changes in Ukrainian Coal Regions Project.

The aim of the project “Support for Structural Change in Ukrainian Coal Regions” is to ensure that Ukraine carries out the structural change associated with the coal phase-out in a socially and economically compatible and ecologically sustainable manner.

In the upcoming decade, unprofitable state-owned coal mines will be seizing its operations. This poses major social and economic challenges for the coal regions. The structural change needed to overcome them, based on the concepts of Just Transition and Green Recovery, can provide new impetus for the development and growth in the affected regions, and beyond. Decarbonization of the economy also makes a significant contribution to Ukraine’s ability to raise its level of ambition in the context of global climate protection. In light of the war in Ukraine, the project currently focuses on reconstruction and recovery efforts in the Ukrainian energy sector and supports Western coal regions in their efforts to host internally displaced persons.

• Managing project documentation and materials, including compilation, editing, translation, and report writing;
• Assisting in organizing events, meetings and joint briefings with other organizations and partners;
