Intern (m/f/d) in Urban Climate Infrastructure at the City Climate Finance Gap Fund

Objective of the City Climate Finance Gap Fund (Gap Fund), a multi-donor trust fund at the European Investment Bank (EIB), is to support cities worldwide to prepare concrete infrastructure investments that contribute to adaptation and/or mitigation of climate change.

The TA activities are implemented request based in low and middle-income countries in Africa, Latin America, European Neighbourhood Countries, Asia and the Pacific.
