Duties and Responsibilities

The UNEP-convened Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC) is a partnership of governments, intergovernmental organizations, and representatives of the private sector, the environmental community, and other members of civil society. The CCAC is the only international initiative working on integrated climate and clean air solutions to reduce the rate of near-term warming. It focuses on fast action to reduce emissions of short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs) including methane, black carbon, HFCs and tropospheric ozone. More information about the CCAC is here: www.ccacoalition.org As of October 2023, the CCAC Secretariat is also providing secretariat services to the Global Methane Pledge.

The CCAC Science Affairs team plays a central role in supporting the Coalition’s science-policy interface by coordinating scientific advisory activities, supporting major global assessments, and translating scientific findings into policy-relevant insights and analytical tools that support partner decision-making. As the CCAC expands its scientific assessments and analytical outputs—including the Global Methane Status Report, new integrated climate and clean air assessments, and science-policy intelligence systems such as the CCAC NDC Tracking Database—there is an increasing need to manage, analyse and translate complex modelling outputs and datasets into accessible analytical products and tools for a wide range of stakeholders. These scientific outputs generate large and complex datasets that require dedicated analytical capacity to ensure they are organized, accessible and effectively used by the Secretariat and CCAC partners. In addition, there is growing demand from partners for analytical tools, vi...
