Job description

The UK plays a central role in accelerating ambition to tackle climate change internationally.  UK International Climate Finance (ICF) is Official Development Assistance (ODA) from the UK to support developing countries to reduce poverty and respond to and mitigate challenges caused by climate change, biodiversity loss and environmental degradation.  This is an important part of the UK’s commitment to helping deliver the aims of the Paris Agreement and supports the Government’s broader international ambitions such as for the UK to become a global leader on international climate and development.

DESNZ works alongside FCDO and Defra to deliver UK ICF. DESNZ ICF plays a crucial role in delivering climate mitigation in developing countries; accelerating the global transition to a net zero future. We support international initiatives on the energy and sectoral transitions, green finance, mobilising private finance, and international forests. DESNZ has a c.£4bn portfolio of International Climate Finance ODA programmes, with a diverse portfolio of over 33 international climate finance programmes in over 100 countries. DESNZ will have an ongoing role to play in future ICF spend that is currently being determined through the Spending Review.

DESNZ International Net Zero Directorates are looking to recruit passionate individuals to work on DESNZ’s ICF strategy and programmes.  It is an exciting time for the ICF; across HMG we are working to develop and deliver programming to meet our current spending commitments and determine a multi-year strategy and pipeline for the next phase of the ICF.

These roles are part of the Green Finance and Capability (GF&C) team. GF&C leads policy and programming to accelerate progress towards global net zero by helping developing countries plan and build capability to implement their transition and catalyse an increase in global climate finance flows. This work is critical for achieving net zero globally, and the UK has committed to support developing countries to tackle climate change as part of the Paris Agreement, and through our £11.6bn International Climate Finance commitment, which DESNZ delivers alongside FCDO and DEFRA.
