Pros

Direct exposure to climate justice philanthropy; Exposure to high-level international climate work; A respected name on the résumé.

Cons

More time on grantmaking research and internal memos than hands-on climate policy or technical analysis; If you're expecting fieldwork, government-facing policy drafting, or deep modeling, this internship might feel indirect.
