The Center for Conservation and Government (CCG) is seeking a Climate Policy Manager to serve as a key partner for climate policy for the International Policy Program and Indigenous and Traditional Peoples Program. The Center for Conservation and Government promotes innovative solutions that enable governments to take critical actions to conserve biodiversity, strategically targeting the issues and audiences that will have the greatest impact on biodiversity conservation. Specifically, the Indigenous and Traditional Peoples Program works directly with CI programs and partners, local leaders, communities, conservationists and other critical players in building a common agenda for the conservation of biological and cultural diversity. A common thread and high-profile issue of strategic importance for CCG is climate change.
The Climate Policy Manager for Adaptation and Communities will work with CI's multi-disciplinary climate change team and CI’s field programs to implement two core components of CI's dynamic climate change strategy to avoid dangerous anthropogenic climate change and resulting global biodiversity loss and the devastating impacts on human welfare. She/he will coordinate CI's efforts to develop and communicate climate change policies that promote the potential of ecosystem-based adaptation strategies in CI core areas of focus. She/he will also be responsible for coordinating CI's engagement with development agencies and indigenous peoples’ organizations on climate policy. In this capacity the Manager will represent Conservation International at international climate meetings and events. The successful candidate will lead these efforts exercising independent judgment and flexibility with the ability to interact and collaborate in a diverse and multi-cultural environment.
