Beschreibung

The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) is the leading global environmental authority that sets the global environmental agenda, promotes the coherent implementation of the environmental dimension of sustainable development within the United Nations system and serves as an authoritative advocate for the global environment.


United Nations Environment Programme - Finance Initiative (UNEP FI) is a partnership between United Nations Environment and the global financial sector created in the wake of the 1992 Earth Summit with a mission to promote sustainable finance.

More than 450 financial institutions, including banks, insurers, and investors, work with UN Environment to understand today's environmental, social and governance challenges, why they matter to finance, and how to actively participate in addressing them.

UNEP FI provides the secretariat for the industry-led, UN-convened Net-Zero Banking Alliance (NZBA).

The Alliance brings together over 100 banks from 40 countries with over US$74 trillion in assets, which are committed to aligning their lending and investment portfolios with net-zero emissions by 2050.

The UNEP FI Internship for Net-Zero Banking Alliance (NZBA) Support is for six (6) months.
