Role Overview
Building a climate safe world requires aligning different forces in society to create the laws and institutions necessary to drive change. The E3G’s EU Politics and Governance Programme aims to protect the political foundations for advancing and delivering a socially fair transition over the next five years.
2024 will mark the change of European leadership and the start of a new political agenda for the EU in a fraught political context, whilst facing a challenging implementation phase and an uphill battle for higher ambition. EU climate action is no longer the sole focus of climate or energy ministries and is increasingly driven by frequent discussions at the highest political level, requiring a stronger political focus. Strong governance structure can help to reinforce political and public buy-in, but to be effective stronger links across climate, social and economic frameworks must be drawn.
In 2024, E3G’s EU Politics and Governance Programme will work to secure the foundations for continued climate action in the next EU political cycle and establish implementation as a success story at the beginning of the new EU mandate.
The Challenge
E3G is looking for an individual with a deep understanding of EU politics and policies to play a key role in shaping and delivering our political strategy and engagement process, working closely with E3G’s other programmes to deliver transformational outcomes. The interim programme lead will directly report to the Brussels Director and lead a team of 4.
