Description |
This is an excellent opportunity to join a highly motivated team that is making a real impact in advancing East China’s transition to a low carbon economy. The job holder will play an influential role in the Climate Change and Energy (CCE) team based in Shanghai, with responsibility for delivering the CCE Network’s objectives in East China covering Shanghai, Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Anhui. The successful candidate will join as Deputy Head of a three-person team tasked with 1) accelerating East China’s transition to a low carbon economy through targeted policy engagements, and 2) positioning UK organisations as leading partners in this transition with key stakeholders in the Chinese system. To maximise impact and outcomes this will require close collaborative working with different teams across the British Consulate-General Shanghai, including the Department for International Trade, Science and Innovation Network and Regional Cities Network. Existing CCE policy engagements in East China include climate change risk and building resilience, green finance, offshore wind and carbon capture and storage. Driving these engagements, identifying new opportunities for UK-China collaboration on CCE policy and strengthening relationships with key stakeholders will be at the heart of this exciting role. The role offers plenty of scope to develop both policy and leadership skills, including supporting the Head of CCE (East China) in management and development of the Shanghai CCE team.
