About IISD Resilience And The NAP Global Network
IISD’s Resilience Program is a multidisciplinary team of policy researchers who work with governments, civil society, communities, and businesses to help them manage climate- and conflict-related risks. Its work focuses on planning, people, and nature—preparing for a different or uncertain future, making sure different genders and social groups influence and benefit from investments in resilience, and harnessing the role of ecosystems to help communities manage risks.
The Resilience Program hosts the secretariat for the National Adaptation Plan (NAP) Global Network, an initiative focused on accelerating adaptation planning and action in developing countries. The NAP Global Network strives to achieve this goal by a) enhancing national-level action through short- and longer-term technical support on adaptation planning; b) facilitating South–South peer learning and exchange; and c) generating, synthesizing, and sharing knowledge on NAP processes. Established in 2014, the NAP Global Network connects more than 2,000 participants from over 155 countries with financial support from an expanding base of donors.
The Position
This entry-level role will be embedded in the Resilience Communications team supporting both the NAP Global Network and the wider Resilience Program. We are seeking an enthusiastic and organized communications professional with a talent for working with complexity and a passion for making an impact through digital media. If you are a strong writer/editor with a good eye for design, excellent planning skills, and a keen interest in developing a communications career in climate change and / or sustainable development, we look forward to hearing from you.
