Description |
CARE Danmark (CDK) is seeking a Global Climate Change Advocacy Coordinator for the CARE International Poverty, Environmental and Climate Change Network (PECCN). Starting date is 1st of August 2011 or as soon as possible with initial contract period of two years. The network is a programme development, programme quality and advocacy network that is based on horizontal and largely informal relationships across CARE, and between CARE and peer organizations. As a CARE-led “community of practice”, and the first Centre of Expertise within CARE International (CI), PECCN’s global membership includes hundreds of professionals from CARE and partner organisations committed to addressing the challenges of environmental change from the perspective of the world’s poorest and most vulnerable people. In climate change advocacy CARE is focusing on making adaptation funding mechanisms work for poor people, greater investment in disaster risk reduction and management, and expanding opportunities for poor people to participate in and benefit from carbon finance mechanisms. CARE is also addressing emissions policies, typically through our participation in larger advocacy alliances. The goals and strategies of PECCN are defined by the Climate Change Strategic Plan (CCSP) of CARE International. Climate change advocacy is one of the four main themes of the CCSP. See www.careclimatechange.org for details of CARE’s climate change programming and advocacy. Responsibilities and tasks
