Position title: Market Transformation Seafood Intern

Reports to: Market Transformation

Location: Singapore

About World Wide Fund for Nature, Singapore (WWF):

One of the world’s largest and most respected independent conservation organisations. We protect critical resources for people in Singapore by driving change across government, business, civil society and local communities.

As one of WWF’s global hubs, WWF-Singapore supports global conservation goals, we address issues such as deforestation, haze pollution, seafood sustainability and illegal wildlife trade in a network that spans over 100 countries. The intern will support the Market Transformation team in Singapore. The market transformation team strives to set impactful industry aspirations on sustainability in Singapore and Southeast Asia especially in the areas of palm oil, plastics, responsible seafood, climate and illegal wildlife trade. The intern will assist specifically the work in responsible seafood and aquaculture

Background 

Our oceans are in a state of global crisis, brought about by overfishing and widespread use of unsustainable aquaculture practices - one of the biggest threats to ocean life. More than 90% of the world’s fish stocks are either overfished or fully exploited, and excessive chemical and antibiotic use in current aquaculture practice have led to poor and rapidly deteriorating conditions in surrounding marine ecosystems. 

In Singapore, while seafood is one of the main sources of protein, domestic fish production covers only approximately 5% of total seafood consumption. Considering that 75% of the most consumed seafood species in Singapore are not responsibly caught or farmed, this places Singapore’s food security at risk as the fish stocks we depend on are vulnerable to collapse. To tackle this, the Market Transformation team is working on increasing both  responsible production and consumption of seafood, as we believe that is key to  preventing the predicted collapse of fish stocks within our lifetime and helping secure Singapore’s seafood supply.

Major Duties and Responsibilities:

• Produce statistics, case studies and reports relevant to WWF Singapore’s market transformation activities in Responsible Seafood
• Support the planning and logistics of Responsible Seafood events and capacity building workshops
• Support the Responsible Seafood Business Platform through member administration and compilation of reporting data

• Undergraduate students/ Bachelor’s degree in Business, Environmental Science or related field   
• Basic understanding of the aquaculture supply-chain and the sustainability issues within and basic knowledge of aquaculture aquaculture management
• Advanced written and verbal English skills, along with the maturity to work in a global, multi-cultural environment
• Experience in project management and collaborations with external partners
• Flexibility and ability to work on other projects as needed
• Interest in environmental and sustainability issues
• Passionate about conservation and driving real impact
• Event management experience is a plus

I. Mission of the WWF Sustainable Finance Team

The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) is one of the world’s largest and most experienced conservation
organizations with a global network of 6000 experts working across the areas most critical to global
sustainable development, including food systems, climate and energy, and freshwater, forests and
oceans, active in more than 100 countries.
Our approach is deeply rooted in science and our mission is to stop the degradation of the planet’s
natural environment and to build a future in which people and nature thrive. WWF has identified the
finance sector as a key driver of global economic activity with which we must engage to successfully
deliver on our long-term conservation mission.
Positioned at the cutting-edge of sustainable finance internationally, our global sustainable finance team
of 80 experts - including 30 in Asia - is dedicated to supporting the finance sector to transition to
sustainable and resilient economy via working key finance sector players including banks, investors,
regulators, and stock exchanges, across six focus areas: standards, regulations, capacity building,
research & tools, green financial solutions and engagement.

II. Objectives of WWF’s Greening Financial Regulation initiative

Influencing financial market regulations is one of the most efficient levers to shift financial flows in line
with international agreements such as the Paris Agreement on climate change and with broader
sustainable development goals. In 2021, WWF launched the Greening Financial Regulation initiative
(GFRi), a new network-wide initiative to advocate for a more systematic integration of climate-related
and environmental risks in financial regulation and supervision, as well as in monetary policy.
This is done notably by measuring and tracking progress made by central banks and financial supervisors,
and by providing targeted support and capacity building to these institutions. To do so, WWF leverages
on existing data, tools and methodologies, conducts and publishes relevant research together with
external partners. More information here.

The GFRi is a global initiative, led by WWF-Switzerland with support from regional and technical leads.
