The world’s largest fossil fuel producers are already on track to produce more than twice the amount of coal, oil and gas than can ever be burned if we are to hit our climate targets. The Fossil Fuel Treaty Initiative is a campaign and diplomatic Initiative that champions a new international mechanism to complement the Paris Agreement, one that would address the structural barriers to the transition and provide a clear plan for the phase out of fossil fuels with equity at the core.

Reporting to the Strategic Advisor and Head of Asia Campaigns & Advocacy, the Asia Campaigner will play a key role in scaling the campaign for a Fossil Fuel Treaty across the region. If you are looking for an exciting opportunity to help grow a bold and ambitious global campaign—one that involves high-level diplomatic engagement, project management, strategic communications, and network organising—while working with a diverse international team committed to a fossil fuel-free future, this role is for you.

The Asia Campaigner will join the International Support Team of the Fossil Fuel Non-Proliferation Treaty Initiative and work closely with the Campaigns and Communications teams. The role will focus on supporting and coordinating efforts to ensure that a growing number of Asian nation-states formally champion the proposed Fossil Fuel Treaty and call for a global, just transition.

As part of a rapidly expanding team, the Asia Campaigner will support diplomatic engagement across the region, strengthen networks of organisations and movements, and help build sustained momentum for the Treaty. This will involve close collaboration with governments, as well as coordination with a wide and growing network of civil society organisations, youth movements, faith-based institutions, subnational governments and cities, high-profile individuals, and other allies across Asia.

• Secure high-profile city and subnational endorsements across Asia to build further momentum behind the Fossil Fuel Treaty proposal.
• Expand and activate a network of Asian Champions and high-profile individuals backing the Treaty to amplify communications and campaign engagement.
• Support public communications efforts in Asia that demonstrate growing support for the Fossil Fuel Treaty, in close collaboration with the Communications Team, particularly on social media, content production, and traditional media strategy.
• Support grant applications and fundraising efforts to increase capacity for the Treaty Initiative in Asia, including strengthening partner organisations and campaign activities.
