CM Punjab Climate Leadership Internship 2026 – Batch III, Last Date 18 September

CM Punjab Climate Leadership Internship 2026

The Environment Protection and Climate Change Department (EPCCD), Government of the Punjab, has opened applications for Batch-III of the Chief Minister’s Climate Leadership Development Internship Program, run under Phase-II of the programme. The internship places fresh graduates and motivated young people from across Punjab into district-level climate and environment work, with a stated ambition of building a cadre of climate-literate youth for the province.

The programme is structured as a three-month, paid, full-time internship carrying a monthly stipend of Rs. 60,000, which is a notably strong stipend by Pakistani internship standards. Placements are district-wise, so successful applicants can generally expect to serve in or near their home district rather than being required to relocate to Lahore.

Two features stand out for eligibility. First, 50 percent of the available seats are reserved for female candidates, and second, the programme carries a dedicated quota for graduates of foreign universities alongside a general pathway for graduates of Pakistani institutions who are currently unemployed. Selected interns receive access to a Learning Management System, district-level field exposure, a UNFCCC-aligned international certification component, and a capstone project completed under mentorship.

Applications for this batch opened in early September 2026, and the department has set the closing date as September 18, 2026. The programme is applied for entirely online through the official EPCCD portal, and the department has also set up a dedicated helpline for applicant queries.

One point worth flagging honestly: the automated fetch of the official application portal (epd.punjab.gov.pk/Climateinternship) returned only the department’s landing and contact information rather than the full downloadable notification, so the exact total number of Batch-III seats could not be independently confirmed from the primary site at the time of writing; it is corroborated instead from two independent news/jobs listings that agree on the stipend, duration, eligibility and the September 18, 2026 closing date. Candidates should read the full notification on the official portal before applying.
