About the Program:
The world needs to shift from economies based on exploiting people and nature to low-carbon economies that are great for people and good for the planet. Achieving the world’s people, nature, and climate goals will require major transformations of every human system that supports life on Earth — from the ways we produce and use food and energy to how we design cities – as well as to the economic, financial and political administration systems which underpin them. WRI works to drive transitions in focus countries where we can test, evaluate, and scale strategies and lessons learned, and also to set ambitious global commitments and initiatives. We bring change-makers together from governments, businesses, non-profits, and others to advance rigorous, evidence-based solutions and learning.

Who can develop a WRI intern?
Intern applications are solicited from any Cornell University undergraduate or graduate student.
How is the program structured?
Summer internships last for approximately ten weeks. At the beginning of each summer session, WRI staff develop a set of potential projects end with background reference material, initial research tasks, and possible study outcomes, such as posters or reports. Interns are asked to select several projects that interest them. Subsequently, WRI staff assign each intern a primary venture for which they will be most responsible throughout the summer. Staff consider the match between intern skills/classwork and project needs, as well as intern interest in project topics. Secondary projects are also assigned to offer interns exposure to other rain resource issues, and to urge dialogue and cooperation. One student’s primary project may be another student’s secondary project. Additional internships may be supported throughout the year as funding and projects needs arise.
WRI staff members are identified as project leads, and each intern meets with their corresponding staff memb
