NORCAP is the Norwegian Refugee Council’s global provider of expertise to the humanitarian, development and peacebuilding sectors. We build partnerships with international organisations and national actors to protect lives, rights and livelihoods. We provide personnel with experience, skills and high-level expertise. Our projects, some operated in cooperation with partners, cover the following thematic areas; crisis response, human rights and democracy, protection, gender mainstreaming, needs assessment, cash programming, peacebuilding and climate services and clean energy.
Climate change and access to clean energy are among the biggest challenges of our time, but also an area where there is ample room for change and development over the next years. The global demand for energy is expected to increase by 37 percent by 2040, with the majority of growth happening in developing countries. Increased use of clean and renewable energy is vital to mitigating global climate change and has a much lower impact on our environment.
NORCAP is now looking for an adviser with a background in renewable energy and climate change and adaptation, with a keen interest to learn more and contribute to NORCAP’s work.
The Energy and Climate adviser is responsible for supporting the program portfolio within the area of climate change adaption, renewable energy, resilience and disaster risk reduction/ management (DRR/M). This in particular includes the support to a three-year project on climate services and energy, funded by the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation, Norad. The adviser will work closely with colleagues across the department and work on development processes, liaise with internal and external stakeholders, follow up project/budget management and reporting, as well as contribute to program design, proposal writing and fundraising.
