Manager of Adaptation, Washington DC
The Center for Clean Air Policy (CCAP), a renowned leader for more than two decades in the global climate change policy arena, seeks applications and nominations for the Manager of Adaptation position. The last few years have seen unprecedented interest in climate policy, and CCAP believes that local governments can take the lead in diminishing the impact of climate change upon infrastructure and vulnerable populations. Adaptation to climate change, a cutting-edge and complementary strategy to mitigation for effectively managing climate change risks within the context of a region’s sustainable development, is at the forefront of this surge in policy change.
CCAP is creating a new role, the Manager of Adaptation, to manage the Urban Leaders Adaptation Initiative (ULAI). The Manager will build CCAP and ULAI’s ability to offer local governments resources to influence regional land development and infrastructure decisions as well as its ability to help frame federal infrastructure policies which impact local adaptation efforts. This is an exciting opportunity to join CCAP and to work with local governments who are leading the way in climate change adaptation policy. The ideal candidate will help CCAP to establish credibility and expertise in the emerging field of adaptation policy, will build strong relationships with key partners and will develop and communicate an integrated approach to adaptation policy development.
Charged with developing the ULAI to influence and inform policy decisions at the local, state and national levels, the Manager will work with CCAP’s partners to implement specific projects, policies, plans, programs, processes and/or partnerships that incorporate adaptation strategies. The new manager will play a critical role in establishing CCAP’s voice and potential impact in this nascent field by fostering strong relationships between CCAP, its partners and the emerging adaptation policy community. The successful candidate will have a minimum of seven years of public policy experience in a government or non-profit management position and knowledge of local government issues. S/he will ideally hold a Bachelor’s degree in Public Policy, Environmental Planning, Economics, or a related field. Preference will be given to candidates with an advanced degree. Some travel will be involved.
