2025 Summer Intern, Climate Center

CF supports government and private-sector clients in their efforts to transition to a low-emission future and become more resilient to the impacts of climate change. We develop emissions inventories and carbon footprints, conduct greenhouse gas mitigation policy analyses, assess climate risk, create climate action and resilience plans, and more.

The ICF Climate Center offers compelling research and unique insights to help organizations establish clear, practical pathways forward by combining climate science, predictive analytics, and deep engagement. We are currently hiring Climate Center Interns from diverse backgrounds and majors.

Interns will support our team in completing projects and will also collaborate with their cohort to contribute to a shared ICF Climate Center Flagship Report. You will learn about the latest topics in climate change mitigation, climate risk assessment, and climate resilience, as well as cutting-edge solutions for implementing climate action. Additionally, you will gain valuable insights into the field of consulting, including working on small group projects to meet the needs of a client or the Climate Center.
