Job Category 1 Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (Policy & Political roles) Job Subcategory 1 Economic and Prosperity Job Description (Roles and Responsibilities) 1

Main purpose of job:

The British Embassy in Mexico City is looking for a new Officer to be the focal point for our work on climate and nature policy including on climate mitigation and adaptation, forestry and land use, and biodiversity. The jobholder will provide technical advice and recommendations to the Embassy’s climate and nature portfolios. They will regularly update their knowledge and understanding on climate and nature through networking, research, and training. This is an exciting opportunity to support the work of our diplomatic network to accelerate climate action and nature conservation in Mexico.

On the programme side, the Officer will provide policy direction and guidance to a wide range of climate and nature initiatives operating in Mexico and funded by UK International Climate Finance (ICF). They will liaise regularly with the three different government departments that provide ICF resources to Mexico: Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) and Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA). The successful candidate will be instrumental in strengthening working relationships between the Embassy and programme delivery partners as well as regional and UK stakeholders.

The successful candidate will represent the UK at strategic activities and events on climate and nature including those hosted by the Mexican Government.
