Climate Justice Workshop Series Intern

Are you looking for an opportunity to contribute to meaningful projects while organising events and raising awareness? MSF OCB’s DARA (Diversity and Anti-Racism) Advisory is looking for an intern.

CONTEXT

The MSF Climate Justice Workshop Series is a new initiative being developed in the lead-up to COP 30 and beyond. These workshops are designed to explore the intersections of climate change, inequality, and humanitarian action. They aim to amplify the voices of Indigenous, environmental, and frontline communities while critically engaging with topics such as land rights, fossil fuels, floods and droughts, and rising temperatures.

In 2026, the series will expand with practical and theoretical sessions addressing fast fashion, seed rights, white veganism, ethical consumerism, urban gardening, and sustainability practices under the “Climate and I” initiative.
