Do you want to help end Europe’s and the transport sector’s continued reliance on fossil fuels? Do you want to help ensure climate change policies related to transport are compatible with internationally agreed-upon greenhouse gas targets?
Transport & Environment (T&E), Europe’s leading clean transport think tank and campaign group, is looking to strengthen its climate team. As T&E’s climate intern, you will support policy strategies to secure EU-wide support for the new post-2030 climate architecture.
As part of the internship, the successful candidate will assist in developing strategies to build support to carbon pricing in road transport and buildings (ETS2), designing and promoting social climate policies, and ensuring that fossil fuel companies pay their share and contribute to the just transition.
Ideally, you have interest in and some knowledge of how EU politics works, how the main EU climate policy instruments work, as well as a general interest in environmental conservation and an aptitude for developing policy recommendations that would lead to positive environmental outcomes. You should be a strategic thinker capable of analyzing and explaining complex technical topics. Good interpersonal skills are essential, as a great level in English. Candidates should be able to work autonomously and collaboratively.
The position is full-time, with a contract running one year from November 2026 , although the dates are subject to discussion. The internship is paid according to the Belgian legal framework of “Convention d’Immersion Professionnelle” (remunerated with €1800 gross a month).
This role will be based in Brussels in a hybrid setting. The deadline for applications is 30/09/2026, at midnight. Interviews will take place in the following two weeks, with a view to the candidate starting at the earliest possible opportunity.
The letter of motivation and completed application form should explain the motivation and commitment to work with T&E aims, and also highlight examples from your previous work or studies that show us that you have the skills and competencies outlined above.
T&E is an equal opportunities employer. We believe that a diverse staff enables us to do better and more impactful work. Your qualities and commitment are what matter to us, regardless of race, nationality, gender, age, religion, disability, or sexual orientation. We thank all candidates for their interest; however, we are only able to contact those who have been shortlisted. Only applicants with the existing right to work within the EU will be considered.
