The Division is responsible for strengthening capacities in energy and nuclear power planning, building capacities to manage nuclear knowledge and provide knowledge management services to interested member states, and to procure and provide printed and electronic information in the area of nuclear science and technology.
The Planning and Economic Studies Section has two objectives. One objective is to enhance the capacity of Member States to perform their own analyses related to electricity and energy system development, energy investment planning and energy–environment policy formulation and to understand the associated economic implications. The other objective is to improve understanding of the potential role of nuclear energy in the context of mitigating climate change and contributing to sustainable energy development.
Main Purpose
The main purpose of the internship is to support the IAEA's outreach activities on the role of nuclear energy in mitigating climate change. This work will contribute to the IAEA participation in the UNFCCC Climate Change Conference (COP29), which will be held in Baku, Azerbaijan in November 2024, and for the organization of the IAEA Research Coordination Meeting on Economic Appraisal of Small Modular Reactor Projects: Methodologies and Applications, to be held at the IAEA Headquarters from 19-23 August 2024. The underlying objective is to effectively communicate the role of nuclear energy in climate change mitigation and adaptation, and aid in promoting the IAEA activities in this area.
