As Climate Risk Coordinator you will be directly responsible for working with these communities through conducting engagement activities with community members, leading the defining and mapping of climate hazards and vulnerabilities, developing and writing related risk reports, and coordinating and supporting the development of a regional climate adaption plan based on findings and reports.
