London, United Kingdom Chatham House Full time

**Description**

Chatham House, the Royal Institute of International Affairs, is a world leading independent policy institute based in London. As a global think tank, our mission is to help build a sustainably secure, prosperous and just world.

The Environment and Society Centre (ESC) provides governments, businesses and societies with the information, networks and tools to accelerate the world towards a sustainable and fair future. We carry out independent, thought-leading research, analysing and informing international processes, bringing together diverse perspectives and constituencies, and injecting new ideas into the international arena. We research, assemble and incubate the ideas, expertise and energy that are needed for policy impact. The centre prides itself on the intersectional and systemic nature of its research. Much of the work undertaken within the centre seeks to emphasise the linkages and cross-dependencies between climate change, the consumption of natural resources, and how these are configured, distributed and adapted by societies all around the world.
