About EIA Climate Programme
EIA’s Climate Programme seeks to keep global warming below 1.5°C and meet the climate challenge through rapid, sustained reductions of emissions of all the major greenhouse gases.
This will be achieved by developing, implementing and enforcing ambitious national, regional, global and sectoral obligations to transition away from fossil fuels and reduce emissions of ozone depleting substances (ODS), fluorinated gases (F-gases), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2). These obligations should be reinforced by strong governance frameworks ensuring corporate accountability and sustainable financing for a just and fair transition for all.
The role
EIA is seeking to recruit an Outreach and Communications Officer to strengthen the visibility, influence and coordination of its climate campaign.
The role sits at the intersection of communications, public affairs and stakeholder engagement. The postholder will focus on translating and amplifying EIA’s policy and advocacy work through media, stakeholder engagement and external positioning. An important aspect of the role will be to support engagement and coordination with EIA partners, to build the movement and amplify their efforts.
The postholder will not be responsible for developing detailed policy positions or leading policy campaigns but will work closely with the campaigns team to ensure EIA’s analysis and priorities are effectively communicated and reach key audiences.
