2 jobs in Climate Parliament

The Climate Parliament ) is an international, multi-partisan network of legislators working worldwide to combat climate change and protect the living planet. We work mainly with national legislators in the Global South. We have had a major impact on renewable energy budgets, laws and policies at the national level. We have also created and advanced successful climate diplomacy initiatives.

In collaboration with the United Nations Industrial Development Organisation (UNIDO), the Climate Parliament is implementing the Parliamentarians for Climate Finance project in 15 African countries with support from the Green Climate Fund (GCF). The aim of this project is to increase the flow of public and private green investment to the participating countries by building the capacity of legislators on climate finance, convening dialogues with investors, and developing actionable ideas for parliamentary interventions, thus helping to achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement. The participating countries are: Botswana, Côte d'Ivoire, Djibouti, Ghana, Guinea, Kenya, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, Seychelles, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe.

A major focus of the project is developing Green Energy Zones (GEZs) in each country where the conditions are put in place to attract large amounts of investment in solar and wind power, and in green production of hydrogen, steel, fertiliser, aviation fuel, etc. By creating a replicable model of a Green Energy Zone which can be adapted for use in all parts of the world, we can potentially make an important contribution to achieving global net zero emissions. The Members of Parliament and Congress in our network are powerful actors who are in a position to make things happen. We also benefit from the involvement and advice of major business leaders from the global renewable energy sector. One of the attractions of the job is that you are working directly with influential decision makers, as part of a small team of talented individuals in the secretariat.
