Description du poste
Under the direct supervision of the Deputy Regional Director (DRD) for Operations, the overall supervision of the Regional Director (RD), and the guidance of the Climate Action Division (CAD) in Headquarters (HQ), the Regional Thematic Specialist on Climate Action and Mobility (CAD RTS) provides advice and support to the implementation of institutional policies from HQ to Country Offices (COs) across the Region. Specifically, the Regional Thematic Specialist provides oversight, quality control, and thematic and operational support to promote consistent, cohesive, and quality evidence-based programming. Together with other Regional Thematic Units (RTUs), the Regional Thematic Specialist on Climate Action and Mobility contributes to thought leadership on saving lives and protecting individuals on the move, driving solutions to displacement, and facilitating regular pathways for migration.
Expérience
The Regional Thematic Specialist will also lead the CAD RTU, which will provide thematic oversight and support on regional efforts to address the immediate and long-term impacts of climate change on human mobility while advocating sustainable and inclusive solutions on a regional scale in collaboration with CAD HQ. Special focus will be placed on leveraging IOM’s expertise and role in the new Fund for Responding to Loss and Damage and access to climate financing and technical support to Member States on National Adaptation Plans (NAP) and National Determination Commitments (NDC), especially for Small Islands Developing States and Least Developed Countries that experience interconnected social, environmental and economic challenges. The CAD RTU will also identify regional opportunities and risks, foster knowledge sharing, encourage policy and research development, and support cross-thematic collaboration internally. Externally, the CAD RTU offers advocacy, policy, and technical programme recommendations to regional entities, Member States, and relevant migration fora, spearheaded by IOM’s Regional Office (RO) and CO leadership. For both IOM teams and partners in the Region, the CAD RTU is the go-to source for climate action and mobility expertise and guidance.
