The European Secretariat of ICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability, based in Freiburg, Germany, seeks to fill the position of Project Officer in the field of Adaptation and Sustainable Water Management.
Adaptation to the impact of climate change is an issue of cross-cutting nature, addressed by ICLEI through a range of activities under different themes and by different units, including Climate & Air and Sustainability Management. The holder of this position will mainly – but not exclusively – work with adaptation issues. The position will also extend into issues of sustainable local water management.
The ICLEI European Secretariat is currently leading a new project on Cities and Adaptation in India and the Philippines, providing cities with scientific information and supporting the development of local adaptation plans. The project is funded by the German Ministry for the Environment. ICLEI is also involved in SWITCH – Managing Urban Water for the City of the Future, and the ACCESSanitation (Accelerating City-to City Exchange on Sustainable Sanitation) project, also in India and the Philippines but with an awareness raising aspect for Africa.
