IUCN Regional Office for Eastern Europe and Central Asia (ECARO) is seeking to recruit an experienced and enthusiastic candidate to join the IUCN ECARO team as Nature-based Solutions Senior Project Officer. The successful candidate will work in close cooperation with the IUCN ECARO Director, the IUCN Global Ecosystem Management Programme, and will be responsible for the management of the ADAPT: Nature-based Solutions (NbS) for Resilient Societies in the Western Balkans project. The Senior Nature-based Solutions Project Officer will work closely with several of IUCN’s thematic programmes as part of the Nature-based Solutions Programme Area.
ADAPT is a project funded by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida) that aims to increase ecosystem and community resilience to climate change and environmental degradation in the Western Balkans. The project brings together Western Balkan economies to develop strategies to strengthen knowledge and awareness of nature-based disaster risk reduction solutions as well as capacities to implement such solutions; to enhance the integration of NbS and equitable climate-smart planning into relevant policies; and to increase the implementation of NbS solutions for disaster risk reduction, including through selected pilot sites. The primary task of the Nature-based Solutions Senior Project Officer will be to manage project partnership and coordinate activities to ensure effective project implementation and the delivery of high quality project results.
Other tasks will include priority setting for programme development, donor and partner relations, people management and liaison with IUCN Programmes, Members and Commissions.
