Description

Following recent market engagement, we are opening applications to join a of roster of experts to support the UK PACT (Partnering for Accelerated Climate Transitions) Programme in alleviating poverty through reducing emissions across the globe.

UK PACT is a new Government programme that aims to work with partner countries to improve the capacity and capability of key institutions to reduce emissions. The roster of experts will be funded to deliver a programme of peer-to-peer skill-share projects with organisations from UK PACT's target countries, including: Mexico, Colombia, China, South Africa and Malaysia. In delivering a skill-share, these individuals will use their expertise to provide advice, guidance and support to a counterpart organisation to help drive change and create impact for the project or programme.

UK PACT's programme objectives are to:
- Work in partnership with countries seeking to improve the capacity and capability of key institutions to reduce emissions
- Focus on implementation and climate ambition, by helping to address barriers, constraints and areas of opportunity at different levels of government based on the country's political and economic context and sectoral priorities

What is the roster of experts for?
- The roster of subject matter experts will help to deliver a programme of peer-to-peer skill-shares with organisations in UK PACT's partner countries.

Being part of our community of experts is an excellent opportunity to:
- Support poverty alleviation through accelerating the climate transition
- Support and contribute to the UK's climate change ambition at a global level
- Develop your personal network with individuals and organisations across the UK and the world

Who are we looking for?
- Roster members will be required to have a high level of technical expertise within their field(s) and a track record of relevant experience. UK PACT roster members will be paid for their time, and reimbursed for the expenses incurred, when they are deployed on a skill-share.

Although it is the expertise of the individual we are interested in, and that we will be assessing in applications to the roster, it is expected that applications will be put forward by a legal entity, and that the contract would be signed with the entity. We are interested in people from a range of professions, including, but not limited to, policy makers, financial experts, lawyers, programme managers, engineers, academics, and consultants.
