Internship - Junior Research Specialist

vor 7 Monaten

Wien, Österreich The Geneva Consensus Foundation Vollzeit

**Vacancy Announcement**

ORGANIZATIONAL CONTEXT

The Geneva Consensus Foundation is a public utility foundation created in 2013 in compliance with Articles 80 et seq of the Swiss Civil Code. Our goal is to contribute to World Polity and through the international consensus-building process put in place a global partnership for sustainable development, ensure policy coherence for development, and for the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

On 26 January 2016, the United Nations Committee on Non-Governmental Organizations, by the decision ECOSOC/6728-NGO/819, recommended granting Special Consultative Status to the Geneva Consensus Foundation. At its 16th plenary meeting, on 5 April 2016, the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations adopted decision 2016/215 to grant consultative status to the GCF. Since 2016, GCF is also a member of the United Nations Sustainable Development Solutions Network.

The GCF emphasizes sustainable development as the most significant collective challenge facing humanity. Since the Rio Summit, the international community has aspired to integrate social, economic, and environmental dimensions within a single framework. However, prevailing governance systems often separate these pillars at policy, planning, and management levels, leading to widening inequality, pervasive social tension, and alarming climate change.

We believe the solutions for sustainable development in the interconnected global world entail a significant paradigm shift towards systems analysis and matrix thinking to address the inter-temporal effectiveness-efficiency-equity challenges for future generations. The Rio+20 conference laid solid foundations for this paradigm shift, but the lack of integrated systems thinking in most International/UN organizations prevents the identification of solutions to contemporary global challenges.
