About the role

The Climate Campaigner will play a major role in the EIA Climate Campaign’s objectives to reduce emissions of climate super-pollutants, including HFCs and ODS, focused on international advocacy at the Montreal Protocol, UNFCCC and other relevant fora.

If fully implemented, the HFC phase-down under the Kigali Amendment can avoid around 70 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide-equivalent (CO2e) by 2050, averting almost half a degree of warming by the end of the century. EIA’s campaign seeks to advance and secure lasting emission reductions of fluorinated greenhouse gases through strengthening key elements of the Montreal Protocol, increasing demand for sustainable cooling and heating and tackling illegal trade in ODS and HFC refrigerants.

The Climate campaigner will work across all areas of the campaign and will be responsible for the day-to-day running of key aspects of the climate campaign including research, writing reports and policy briefings, attending meetings, generating media coverage and contributing to the overall strategy of EIA and the Climate campaign.
