Internships and Volunteering

A limited number of internship and volunteering opportunities is available at IIED each year. We value the range of skills and experiences volunteers and interns bring into the organisation along with their enthusiasm for learning. Candidates are generally about to complete, or have just completed, their graduate studies and seek to obtain some initial work experience in sustainable development. However, we welcome applicants with a variety of backgrounds internationally. More information is available on our volunteers and interns page.

Free Publications and downloads

Many of our publications are available to download free of charge in Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF). See our publications help page for more information if you are unfamiliar with this format.

Our database contains abstracts, further details, and download information for all our published work. You can search all publications (both formal published works, and informal literature) or limit to specific IIED published series. Our Sustainable Development Opinion series, give a concise and informative perspective on pressing issues of the day, and have so far this year looked at Fair-Trade Timber, Biofuels, Climate Change, and Biodiversity.
