Climate Economy Municipal Leadership Intern

The just transition to a clean energy future and a diverse climate economy is being led by cities and cannot happen without them. Cities consume more than 78% of the world’s energy and produce more than 60% of GHG. At the same time, cities are making real commitments and taking significant actions towards creating a just and equitable clean energy future and a diverse climate economy for their residents. NECEC is developing a new area of work focused on supporting cities to make the just transition, engaging their residents along the way, and connecting them with NECEC’s member companies to create new collaborations that will lead to decarbonization of every aspect of city life. We believe the Providence area could be a model for achieving the just transition.

The intern will interview potential users of the guide with a focus on Rhode Island municipalities to learn what information would be most useful and then draw on the expertise of the NECEC community to create a guide that provides this information. 

Deliverables: 

The intern will prepare a decarbonization guide for municipalities and an accompanying presentation to summarize the contents of the guide. This presentation will be given to NECEC staff for feedback. 

In addition, the intern will meet regularly with their supervisor for coaching and to provide updates. The intern is also invited to attend weekly NECEC staff meetings and participate in the NECEC mentorship program.
