Description
Context/Reporting line:
The impacts of climate change and environmental degradation are increasingly evident in Iraq. Rising temperatures and changing rainfall patterns have led to more frequent and severe droughts, desertification, water scarcity, floods, sand and dust storms, soil salinity, and soil pollution. This undermines agricultural productivity, food security, and health, and exacerbates structural drivers of conflict such as unequal access to services, disputes over water and land ownership, political marginalization, and lack of trust in government. This combination of environmental and human security factors contributes to community fragility and may compel people to move. In order to support the Government of Iraq to address these challenges, as well as to build community resilience to the changing environment and to support people in their mobility choices, IOM’s Peacebuilding and Stabilization Division is pursuing a number of complementary programs and research streams. A key focus is on supporting local governance as it relates to climate change, which entails actions such as strengthening access to services; building trust between citizens and local, sub-national and/or national government; and engaging the government at national and sub-national levels in policy dialogue and development.
Under the general guidance of the Senior Programme Coordinator (Peace Bldg&Stabl), the overall supervision of the Programme Coordinator (PSD), and the direct supervision of the Climate Security Officer, this position will support two pillars of IOM’s Peacebuilding and Stabilization Division: Pillar I: Research and fieldwork in the areas of climate change, disaster risk reduction, and local governance; and Pillar 2: Engagement with local authorities on issues of local governance in the areas of climate change, climate induced displacement, and disaster risk reduction.
