Abstract
This report, titled ‘An Analysis of Sustainability-Focused Practices and Experiential Learning at Global Compact Nepal,’ summarizes my 16-week Co-operative Education experience as a Program and Research Intern at Global Compact Nepal (GCN). The internship aimed to bridge academic learning with practical exposure in sustainability and responsible business practices.
During this period, I supported the planning and execution of sustainability programs, coordinated with member organizations and stakeholders, assisted in communication and documentation, and contributed to research on topics such as sustainability frameworks and carbon markets aligned with the UN Global Compact and Sustainable Development Goals. The report highlights key challenges faced, including limited structured systems and the complexity of technical sustainability topics, along with suggested improvements to address them. It also provides recommendations to enhance efficiency in communication, digital systems, and workflow processes.
In conclusion, this internship strengthened my skills in research, communication, stakeholder management, and problem-solving, while offering practical insight into implementing sustainability initiatives.
