The Global Capacity Building Coalition – Senior Project Manager (12 Month FTC)
London
Posted Jun 17, 2024 - Requisition No. 126018
Launched at COP28 in Dubai, the Global Capacity Building Coalition (GCBC) is a new initiative whose aim is to significantly increase the availability and effectiveness of climate finance technical assistance programs for financial institutions and other stakeholders in emerging markets and developing economies.
Supported by Bloomberg Philanthropies, the Coalition will bring together some of the world’s leading climate finance organizations – including an unprecedented group of UN agencies, multilateral development banks (MDBs), standard setters, and the private sector – to enhance collaboration and respond to growing requests for capacity building support from financial institutions in EMDEs to meet the aims of the UN and the G20 Sustainable Finance Working Group (SFWG). The Coalition will respond to this growing demand with a focus on seven specific priorities:
Facilitate the enhanced delivery of capacity building support to financial institutions in EMDEs with upskilling, technical assistance, and transition finance resources.
Identify gaps and develop additional resources required to fill technical or market-specific gaps. Where capacity needs for scaling sustainable finance are not covered by existing tools or resources, recipients will be able to request new resources to address gaps.
Focus on adaptation and resilience and seek to embed leading knowledge on adaptation into private finance decision making.
Establish knowledge-sharing mechanisms and create an online platform for training, learning, and requesting technical assistance to accelerate accessibility and delivery.
Support the uptake of emerging global best practices and standards, such as the ISSB’s global sustainability disclosure standards.
Drive collaboration between all stakeholders involved in capacity building and avoid duplication of efforts and resources.
Increase philanthropic funding to support climate disclosures, transition planning, and adaptation finance in EMDEs.
To achieve these objectives, the Coalition will build and support a diverse community committed to global capacity building. This will involve identifying and connecting key partners; and facilitating conversations and (where appropriate) the sharing of information/materials/RFPs/etc between financial institutions, central banks and regulators, professional and trade associations, funding partners, education providers and others to support global, regional and national capacity building efforts.
A critical component of the Global Capacity Building Coalition’s success is the development of an online platform, which will be an ultimate repository of capacity building resources, training, and technical assistance. Over time, the GCBC will leverage the platform and other tools to provide demand-driven content and capacity building activities virtually, and across EMDEs.
The successful candidate will assist the GCBC Leadership to execute on the Coalition’s strategy and ambitions by providing support across a wide range of areas related to climate finance and capacity-building, including:
Project and partner management, especially relating to the development of the online platform;
Identifying, assessing and curating capacity-building partners and resources;
Communications, events and engagement with coalition members, partners and beneficiaries; and
Governance and reporting.
