SUMMARY DESCRIPTION:

As pressure to decarbonize energy and transport mounts, petrochemical production- from plastic to agrochemicals and other fossil fuel-derived materials- is the fuel industry’s plan B. Addressing petrochemicals is therefore a key component of any global strategy to stop plastic pollution and to keep fossil fuels in the ground.

The Break Free from Plastic (BFFP) movement’s EU-transatlantic petrochemical task force and global working group have made significant progress towards developing a strategy and creating a joint work plan and coordinated activities. The overall and long-term goal is to stop the petrochemical build-out for plastic production and manage the decline of the petrochemicals industry towards a just transition, with a goal of reducing and ultimately phasing out virgin fossil plastic production.

The Global Plastics & Petrochemicals Campaign Campaigner (or Senior Campaigner) will be responsible for advancing this work together with other CIEL staff members and BFFP’s global coordination team, enabling partners in different regions to lead the implementation of relevant projects and activities, and creating synergies across movements, including with those focused on oil and gas. The position will be based in CIEL’s Fossil Economy program, supervised by the Global Petrochemicals Campaign Manager, and will work closely with colleagues in CIEL’s Fossil Economy, Climate & Energy, and Environmental Health programs to enable an effective and collaborative implementation of the joint strategies. 

The position requires work within international coalitions and movements and across timezones, as well as extensive international travel, occasionally for periods of 2+ weeks (health guidance permitting).
