Climate Change Education

The Inter-American Development Bank, founded in 1959 and headquartered in Washington, D.C., is a multilateral institution serving the development needs of Latin America and the Caribbean. Owned by its member countries, the Bank provides financing, technical assistance, and research to support inclusive growth, infrastructure, climate resilience, and social programs across the region.

Beyond financing, the Bank produces policy research, offers technical cooperation, and partners with governments, the private sector, and civil society to design solutions that address regional development challenges. Its work spans education, sustainable infrastructure, innovation, and institutional strengthening, and it convenes experts and practitioners to translate evidence into effective public policy and project implementation.

For students and early-career professionals interested in international development, the Bank offers training programs, internships, fellowships, and research collaborations that build practical skills and regional expertise. Engagement with the Bank can open opportunities to contribute to policy design, project evaluation, and cross-border initiatives. Its focus on sustainability, inclusion, and measurable impact makes it a compelling option for those aiming to work at the intersection of finance, policy, and development in Latin America and the Caribbean.
