In November 2021, the African Union Peace and Security Council (PSC) acknowledged the wide-ranging risks of climate change, as a threat multiplier, to the peace and security landscape in the continent. Including on food and water insecurity, loss of livelihoods, failure of management of natural resources, the scarcity of water resources, climate-induced displacements, and possibly aggravating existing vulnerabilities, tensions and conflicts. The PSC also underlined the importance of adopting a climate-sensitive planning dimension in peacekeeping and post-conflict reconstruction and development efforts to prevent any relapse to armed conflicts in fragile communities, while ensuring its incorporation in national and continental early-warning activities.

Therefore, we are looking for a Climate Security Advisor, to support and advise the Political Affairs, Peace and Security Department and drive the climate security agenda within the African Union Commission.
