- and national-level change for people and the planet, focusing on integrated solutions to new and long-standing urban challenges, primarily in the Global South.

**Internship Highlight**:
Air pollution is the world’s number one environmental health risk, linked to up to 7 million deaths every year.

- Analysing the roles of European local governments vis a vis national government on tackling air pollution, including their legal and policy mandates and options, in the context of the the revised Ambient Air Quality Directive.

In this role, you will:

- Conduct desktop research to review existing approaches to integrated urban climate and clean air action at the bioregional/regional/airshed scale (45%)
- Conduct research (inc. surveys and interviews) to analyse the roles of European local governments vis a vis national government on tackling air pollution, including their legal and policy mandates and options (45%)
- Support project management and maintain various project trackers (we use Slack and Asana) (5%)
- Provide day-to-day support to One Atmosphere team to schedule team meetings, draft concept notes and agendas and prepare meeting memos as appropriate (5%)

Your internship supervisor will be the Global Director, Urban Efficiency and Climate

**What you will need**:

- Demonstrated passion for cities and clean air
- Strong project management and Microsoft Excel skills
- Ability to manage multiple parallel tasks
