IUCN seeks applications from qualified individuals from Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Montenegro, North Macedonia, and Serbia to serve as independent experts on the respective economy-level Nature-based solutions Coordination Group.

The six Nature-based solutions Coordination Groups (one for each economy) serve as advisory and regulatory mechanisms for economy-level activities. Members will have an important role in providing guidance and recommendations on policy transformation, planning and implementation, including knowledge and capacity gaps. They will be involved in reviewing key project outputs and in advocating for climate-smart and Nature-based solutions for disaster risk reduction in their respective country.

ADAPT: Nature-based Solutions for resilient societies in the Western Balkans is a project funded by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida) and implemented by IUCN. It aims to increase ecosystem and community resilience to climate change and environmental degradation in the Western Balkans. This regional umbrella initiative works with the six Western Balkan economies, regional and local partners.

Closing date and time: 27 April 2020, 23:59 CET

The Call for Applications for each of the six Nature-based solutions Coordination Groups and supporting documents can be found in the downloads section of this news.
