Brussels, Belgique BUREAU EUROPÉEN D'ENVIRONNEMENT - EUROPEAN ENVIRONMENTAL BUREAU Temps plein

**Description de l’entreprise
**The European Environmental Bureau
a network of more than 180 environmental citizens' organisations,
is recruiting a Policy Assistant for Climate and Energy
(paid internship based on a convention d'immersion professionnelle, i.e. CIP contract)
Are you passionate about making a difference during a transformative time for changing the ways Europeans use energy in their homes? Do you care about the climate, the environment, and democracy?
The European Environmental Bureau might have just the right opportunity for you.
The background for this post
The EU imports 45% of its gas from Russia, and the war in Ukraine has painfully underscored Europe's needs to boost energy efficiency and transition to cleaner, cheaper, and more diverse sources of renewables - a message expected to be reiterated in this upcoming Wednesday's Winter Package from the Commission.
With 75% of European homes using fossil fuels for heating, the sector has always been a matter of concern in climate topics. Luckily, the European Union (EU) is currently discussing legislation that aims at ensuring that European buildings play their part in decarbonising the economy: most notably, the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) recast; and the revision of the Ecodesign and Energy Labelling regulations for heating systems. At national level, several member states have already enacted some form of limitation to the installation of fossil heating.

**Description de la fonction
**The EEB offers:

- A minimum of six and maximum of 12 months paid internship contract - around 1.150€ net/month (convention d'immersion professionnelle), coupled with various benefits: transport costs reimbursement, luncheon vouchers, working from home indemnity
- An opportunity to learn about EU decision-making and the functioning of an environmental non-governmental organisation in Brussels
- An opportunity to work for a worthy cause.
How to apply:
Questionnaire for the post of ¿Policy Assistant for Climate and Energy¿ (please do not exceed 2000 characters per question)
Question 1: Why should the building sector be a priority in the decarbonisation of EU's economy?
Question 2: What are the most common technologies to achieve buildings' decarbonisation, particularly in the case of renovations?
Question 3: In which way do fossil fuels relate to energy poverty and what policies can you mention that can promote the decarbonisation of buildings and transport while leaving no one behind?

**Description du profil
