Are you highly motivated by leading advocacy on climate finance for a Just Transition for left-behind communities? Do you have a solid experience from international policy and advocacy processes and a strong knowledge of the international financial system and climate finance for the global south in particular?

You may be our new Global Climate Finance Policy Advisor!

The Climate Justice Global Program


Climate justice is an organizational priority to ActionAid Denmark (AADK) and you will be part of AADK new Climate Justice (CJ) global program. The CJ global program is part of an overall climate justice intervention through country programs in the global south, international and Danish climate justice campaigns, and advocacy at national and international level in cooperation with the ActionAid (AA) federation and other key partners.

  • Primarily holds a strong focus on progressive taxation for a just transition,
  • identifies potential international commercial and impact investors to invest in alternative agroecological and sustainable energy projects at community level,
  • holds donor countries and international institutions accountable for their historical responsibility for the climate crisis and their commitments to finance adaptation, mitigation, and loss & damage in the global south.

It is expected that the CJ global program team works closely with three specific core partner countries and have a looser cooperation with 3-6 more countries. ActionAid partners in the core countries of the program will have a substantial influence on the implementation of the program.

As Global Climate Finance Policy Advisor, you will have 3 different roles:


An international advocacy role of leading international advocacy on climate finance with the purpose to end subsidies, investments and tax incentives to fossil fuels production and harmful agribusiness; and to increase investments and taxation for a Just Transition for left-behind communities.

The deliveries in this role are to:

  • Further develop policy position and advocacy strategy & plans for the climate finance approach of the program to inform and support national level interventions as well as international advocacy
  • Engage in international advocacy to promote just carbon and fossil taxes, to put a price on pollution, and to mobilise financing for a just transition
  • Scope opportunities for engaging in or take initiative to international campaigns in cooperation with the AA Federation and other international allies on issues like carbon taxes on air and sea transport, or climate damage taxes
  • Engage in selected international fora in close cooperation with the AA Federation to hold governments and institutions to account for commitments to climate finance
  • Engaging with a global south perspective in the implementation of an EU Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism

This advocacy role can potentially also include advocacy for mobilising just climate financing from the global north.

A support role at country level that facilitates capacity building and exchange of experiences by training, supporting and facilitating young people, movements and their partners.

The deliveries in this role include:

  • Working with ActionAid, partners and youth driven organisations in 2-4 countries to introduce progressive carbon and greenhouse gas taxes that will raise revenues for a just transition
  • Working with partners and youth in 1-3 countries to improve taxation of extractive industries to mobilize resources for investment in frontline communities
  • Training of young people, movements and their partners in 3-5 countries to understand and analyze potentials in climate and fossil fuels taxes, and enable them to demand a just transition
  • Cooperating with the AADK and the AA climate justice campaign to support impactful campaigns generating policy changes
  • Training of young people, movements and their partners (1-2 countries) to understand the role of harmful tax treaties and how they can be changes to enable revenue mobilization for a just transition

An internal capacity building role to contribute to building an impactful team across countries to implement the global CJ program.

In this role we expect you to:

  • Build your own and your team’s capacity on climate finance and, in coordination with the team, develop impactful strategies across the three pillars of the program
  • Engage in team cooperation for the global Climate Justice team and with the Policy Lab and others in the spirit of ActionAid’s feminist leadership principles

Team context


The team is composed by 5 policy advisors working on different topics, 5 officers or assistants working closely with campaigns and international advocacy.

The global CJ program itself is hosted by AADK International Program and Policy (IPP Team); however, this position will be based in the AADK Policy Lab with the ambition to strengthen the policy profile of the program and ensure a strong coordination and cooperation with other policy and campaign initiatives.

The position refers to the Policy Director

The job as Global Climate Finance Policy Advisor requires that you demonstrate:


  • A minimum of 5 years of experience from international policy and advocacy processes, preferable from the development sector
  • Strong knowledge of the international financial system and climate finance for the global south in particular
  • A deep understanding of the potentials in tax systems for incentivising sustainable production and consumption and mobilise resources for development
  • Experience in developing advocacy strategies and implement advocacy strategies
  • Fluent English is required, while Danish and other local languages are desired

Personally, you can demonstrate that:

  • You are a strong team worker
  • You can create a solid overview of complex subject matters, organizational structures, and strategic priorities
  • You can communicate very specific and in-depth thematic information to persons with different professional backgrounds
  • You have strong intercultural competency and ability to cooperate on advocacy with global south partners

The position can either be based at AADK HQ in Copenhagen or in one of the core partner countries of the program.

Some travel activity is expected.

We offer you:


  • If you are based in Denmark: An 8-years’ employment 37 h/w with flexible working hours and workplace, so that a healthy balance is created between private and working life – Salary and terms of employment are framed by union agreement between the Danish Government and Academics Unions, and some local agreements.

  • A young, informal, and dynamic work environment.
