Volunteering at IEEP UK

“Volunteering at IEEP UK was a truly fantastic experience which enabled me to significantly expand my knowledge of UK and EU environmental policy and gain a variety of new skills. During my time there, I was given the opportunity to contribute to important projects and work on a wide range of different policy areas. My responsibilities included drafting a briefing on divergence in UK and EU circular economy policy, writing sections on Climate and Water in IEEP UK’s 2025 divergence report, and updating IEEP UK’s divergence tracker which monitors all new developments in UK and EU environmental legislation. I also wrote news articles on new policy developments and supported with organising events, including a reception at the Houses of Parliament. Additionally, I was able to develop my understanding of how think tanks operate and their role in influencing policy. The IEEP UK team is extremely welcoming and helpful, and they provided me with invaluable support, advice and opportunities throughout my time there. Overall, I would thoroughly recommend volunteering at IEEP UK to anyone who is interested in gaining experience in the field of environmental policy.”
