Law & Climate Change Research Intern
Legal research interns will be responsible for updating and expanding the Centre for Climate Engagement’s Law and Climate Atlas, which was launched at the end of 2022.

This internship will be focussed on the Law and Climate Atlas, with key outputs and tasks including:
- Reviewing existing sections to ensure that they remain accurate in light of any recent legal developments, and proposing new amendments or insertions to reflect key legal changes.
- Helping to research and draft new sections to expand the Atlas so that it covers more areas of law.
- Analysing how different areas of law covered in the Atlas might be relevant to contracts.
