Malaysia UNICEF Full time

**Job no**: 569534

**Contract type**: Internship

**Duty Station**: Kuala Lumpur

**Level**: Internship

**Location**: Malaysia

**Categories**: Innovation

UNICEF works in some of the world’s toughest places, to reach the world’s most disadvantaged children. To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfill their potential.

Across 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for everyone.

And we never give up.

**For every child, **_hope_**

Together with the Malaysian government and others who are truly passionate about child rights, UNICEF works in Malaysia to ensure every child has the opportunity to grow healthy and happy; live safely; and achieve their full potential.

With the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the Sustainable Development Goals, and the 12th Malaysia plan as our guides, we endeavor to change minds, change policies, and in turn change the lives of all children in Malaysia.

Climate change and environmental degradation are some of the biggest threats affecting the world’s children, undermining many of the gains achieved in child survival and development. Children are the least responsible for climate change and environmental degradation, yet they stand to bear the most significant burden of its impact. UNICEF is committed to achieving societal transformation necessary for children to live in a sustainable, clean and safe environment.

UNICEF’s climate and environmental sustainability strategy stresses the need for ambitious programming to protect children from the impacts of climate change and environmental degradation by increasing the essential services’ resilience and reducing emissions and pollution. It also recognizes that children are not merely passive victims but right holders and active agents of change and that our only hope is empowering future generations to choose an environmentally sustainable path.

**Purpose of Activity/Assignment & Scope of Work**

Under the supervision of the Climate and Environment Officer, this internship is to support the Climate and Environment team in implementing the climate change, environment and disaster risk reduction and resilience agenda. Furthermore, the intern will support UNICEF’s efforts to make children and young people a focus of climate change strategies and to empower children and young people with knowledge and skills to participate in climate and environmental action.

**How can you make a difference?**

The purpose of this internship includes:

- Support the ongoing work on youth engagement in climate action, including collecting inputs and feedback, mapping stakeholders, key activities and interventions, and developing good practices and lessons learned reports to build capacity of adolescents and youth to act for the climate and improve their advocacy capacity.
- Support the communications efforts in identifying key advocacy moments including climate and environmental dates and developing key messages and communication materials, as well as building capacity of youth climate advocates.
- Support with the review of climate and environment learning and educational materials, collecting comments and suggestions, providing recommendations for improvements and strengthening actions.
- Support the development of knowledge products and evidence generation on climate change, environment and disaster risk reduction as required.

- Support the ongoing efforts to engage youth and young entrepreneurs and startups in Malaysia that are actively innovating with purposeful intent for positive impact around issues affecting children, such as climate change and environmental degradation.
- Other tasks that may arise related to the daily activities of the team.

**To qualify as an advocate for every child you will have**

We are looking for a dynamic person with a strong interest in climate and environment, innovation, digital engagement, rights of young people, content creation, as well as a proactive attitude towards day-to-day challenges. Most importantly, you need to demonstrate your interest and passion about why you want to work with UNICEF and for children and young people.
