Job Description (Roles and Responsibilities)

As part of the UK Government’s global response to the climate challenge and its commitment to help deliver the aims of the 2016 Paris Agreement, the UK Government has launched a UK PACT (Partnering for Accelerated Climate Transitions) programme in partnership with Indonesia. UK PACT is a technical assistance programme that has been established to support partner countries to accelerate their clean growth transitions and reduce carbon emissions in line with their Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC).

Indonesia is a key partner for the UK in tackling climate change and a strategic partner for UK PACT.

This will include: developing strategy for the programme to further the UK-Indonesia climate relationship; designing a programme to best suit the Indonesia context, with in-depth scoping on areas of focus; and supervising programme implementation.

This role will be in the Low Carbon Energy and Infrastructure Team within the Low Carbon Development Group in British Embassy Jakarta but will require frequent cross-team working with colleagues across the Embassy and in FCDO headquarters in London and East Kilbride. The post holder will need to develop strong links with embassy colleagues in the Department for International Trade, Second Cities Team, COP Unit and International Climate Diplomacy Team.
