Climate Campaigner

About usWe investigate and campaign against environmental crime and abuse.

Our undercover investigations expose transnational wildlife crime, with a focus on elephants,
pangolins and tigers, and forest crimes such as illegal logging and deforestation for cash
crops like palm oil. We work to safeguard global marine ecosystems by addressing the threats
posed by plastic pollution, bycatch and commercial exploitation of whales, dolphins and
porpoises.

Our climate campaign seeks to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions by strengthening and
enforcing regional and international agreements that tackle climate super-pollutants, including
ozone depleting substances (ODS), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) and fossil fuels, and advocating
corporate and policy measures to promote sustainable cooling.

About roleThis is a full-time position in EIA’s Climate team, working across
the campaign with a focus on international action.

**Main purpose of position**: The Climate Campaigner will play a major role
in the EIA Climate Campaign’s objectives to reduce emissions of climate super-pollutants,
including HFCs and ODS, focused on international advocacy at the Montreal Protocol, UNFCCC and
other relevant fora.

If fully implemented, the HFC phase-down under the Kigali Amendment can avoid around 70
billion tonnes of carbon dioxide-equivalent (CO2e) by 2050, averting almost half a degree
of warming by the end of the century. EIA’s campaign seeks to advance and secure lasting
emission reductions of fluorinated greenhouse gases through strengthening key elements of the
Montreal Protocol, increasing demand for sustainable cooling and heating and tackling illegal
trade in ODS and HFC refrigerants.
