Poste de travail

Key Expert 2: Communication and knowledge management expert (Junior Expert, minimum 500 working days)

Description du projet

ACPS SIDS and coastal countries are endowed with a huge amount of biodiversity and valuable coastal and marine ecosystems, including coral reefs, mangroves, and seagrass beds, upon which the lives and livelihoods of their populations depend. However, the persistent and steady decline of coral reef health due to the increased frequency and severity of coral bleaching events, because of climate change have negatively affected fish stocks in many OACPS SIDS and coastal countries. The adverse impacts of climate change exacerbate existing threats to the terrestrial and marine environments in OACPS SIDS and coastal countries. Given the cross-cutting and transboundary nature of the challenges, integrated, holistic, and comprehensive approaches that consider both the marine and terrestrial environments must be used to address the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity in OACPS SIDS and coastal countries. The overall objective of the project is to contribute to the implementation of the SAMOA Pathway by supporting and improving the sustainable management, use, and conservation of coastal and marine resources and the sustainable development of OACPS SIDS and coastal countries. The specific objective of the contract will be to enhance the capacity of the Secretariat of the OACPS to achieve the aims of the Support Programme for OACPS SIDS and Coastal Countries and to fulfil its role in monitoring and coordinating the Programme in order to strengthen the capacities of members and regions of the OACPS to effectively manage coastal and marine biodiversity and enhance resilience to climate change, support regional, national and local efforts to assess, conserve, protect, manage, and sustainably use marine and terrestrial biodiversity, and strengthen coordination and communication to promote the intra-regional aspects of the programme and enhanced collaboration with programme partners for environmental sustainability. All experts must be independent and free from conflicts of interest in the responsibilities they take on. The intended start date is March 2024, and end is February 2028 in Brussels.
