We need you to join us in the fight for our world.
The Degrees Initiative is a UK-based NGO that builds the capacity of developing countries to evaluate solar radiation management geoengineering (SRM), a controversial proposal for reducing some impacts of climate change by reflecting sunlight away from the Earth. Degrees is neutral on whether SRM should ever be used, but we believe that developing countries should be empowered to conduct their own research and to play a central role in SRM discussions. The initiative has been working in different forms for over a decade and our work receives worldwide coverage and widespread acclaim.
We seek a Communications Manager to work closely with the Degrees team, the researchers we support in the Global South, and our stakeholders around the world to further raise our profile - initially focusing on the specialist SRM expert community but over time expanding to the broader climate science and policy arena.
The right candidate will manage a multifaceted comms operation that will:
-
promote the work and achievements of Degrees, especially by raising our public profile in the media;
-
support and promote the Global South researchers whom we fund and their SRM research projects;
-
promote an understanding of why Global South experts must be at the centre of SRM discussions;
-
support the organisation’s engagement with diverse stakeholders across the globe;
-
manage the Communications and Programmes Officer.
This role will not suit someone looking for structure and predictability but should be fun and interesting for a self-starter who enjoys shaping events in a rapidly evolving field.
Putting developing countries at the centre of the SRM conversation
