Internship in the Communication Department

Company Description

GermanZero e.V. is a climate protection organization with the goal of having Germany make its fair contribution to the Paris Climate Agreement by quickly and drastically reducing greenhouse gas emissions. To achieve this, we work in three fields of activity, which together form the roadmap to a climate-neutral Germany: a 1.5-degree package law, policy talks that bring these solutions into the political discourse, and a movement that makes cities climate-neutral through climate decisions.

With around 1,000 honorary members, we offer various forms of participation to actively address the climate crisis. GermanZero was founded in 2019 as a non-profit association and is financed by donations and has currently 22 full-time employees.
