Climate Diplomacy
Main Purpose of the Job: This is an exciting opportunity to lead the UK’s partnerships on climate change in Nigeria and support implementation of Nigeria’s ambitious climate objectives. Although a relatively low emitter by global standards, Nigeria is in the top ten countries most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. This role is part of the climate policy team, which leads UK support on Nigeria’s expansive climate governance framework, including the Climate Change Act, Nationally Determined Contributions and a range of climate and environmental policies. The UK’s climate policy support is a fundamental part of our climate offer and has been instrumental in the rapid development of Nigeria’s climate policy landscape. This role is central to the UK’s relationships in Nigeria on climate change. In this role, the postholder will utilise their strong networks, climate change expertise, and diplomatic prowess to lead the UK’s non-government climate stakeholder engagement and strengthen the UK’s profile on climate change in Nigeria. The postholder will absorb and analyse information quickly, to provide advice to the High Commission and UK Government more broadly, on climate policy priorities for FCDO-N. The postholder will work closely with teams across post and at headquarters, and will have access to a wide range of formal and on-the-job generalist and technical development opportunities. The role delivers on the commitments made by Nigeria since COP26. It also delivers on two of six Country Goals for the Nigeria office and Africa Strategy on supporting a Resilient and productivity economy, and Climate Change, Energy Transition and Nature. |

Learning and development opportunities: Staff across the Nigeria network are expected to make appropriate time for all L&D activities guided by 70/20/10 where 70% of learning is on the job, 20% is structured learning i.e. with a coach, and 10% is through formal courses. By planning your development in this way, you will be playing your part to build the learning culture of the FCDO and are embodying our key organisational values of: Taking Responsibility, Working Together and Encouraging Innovation. Investing in the L&D of our people is critical to FCDO delivering on its priorities and goals, embedding new ways of working, and contributing to wider Government Reform.
